    The objective of this study was to identify ethical dilemmas experienced by OTs and PTs working in the UK National Health Service. Little is known about clinical dilemmas OTs and PTS encounter. Without case material which reflects these realities it is difficult for professional organizations to produce ethical codes, for educators to prepare students for practice, and for clinicians to benefit from the experience of others. A four-page questionnaire was designed based on the results of the pilot study and distributed to OTs and PTs in the UK NHS. Emerging themes in OT found included: difficult or dangerous behavior in patients, unprofessional or incompetent staff, lack of respect for vulnerable patients, difficult/risky decisions about patient discharge.

    I am using this study as an example of clinical reasoning in the field. The systematic review of k tape effectiveness for musculoskeletal injuries found 6 studies that met inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. Only 3 of the 6 studies found K tape to have significant positive outcomes, 2 studies concluded that K tape had positive short-term benefits for shoulder injuries and 1 study found to have positive short-term benefits for whiplash injuries. The review concluded that there is insufficient evidence for or against K tape effectiveness on musculoskeletal injuries, however, the patient may perceive a benefit from its use. After reading this article a therapist has to use there best clinical reasoning when treating there patients with K tape . A therapist has to consider that K-taping may provide a perceived pain reduction to the patient and should be used in conjunction with other modalities and therapy approaches. However K- tape is not meant to be a stand-alone treatment. Patients experience and clinical observation by skilled therapists should be taken into account for K-tape use.

    OT's play a significant role in the discharge process and are often exposed to ethically challenging decision-making. This paper examines the moral basis of discharge planning, relating it to the four fundamental bio-ethical principles of respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. Using a case study design, data was collected from 10 occupational therapists and two elder care patients using the critical incident approach, as part of a wider study to determine their perceptions of discharge planning and multidisciplinary teamwork. Direct observation of interaction within multidisciplinary teams was also undertaken. This study suggests that occupational therapists are unintentionally breaching a set of principles laid out in the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. It is suggested that occupational therapists should further utilize multidisciplinary teams as a place where they can speak about their ethical concerns so that they are able to be effective client centered practitioners.

    This article analyzes the amount and settings of ethical dilemmas from 118 OT's and 107 PT's over a 6-month period. For occupational therapists some of the dilemmas include the risky discharge of patients from hospital, resource limitations, and poor standards of care. For physical therapists these include effectiveness of therapy, conflict between the patients' wishes and professional judgment, and refusal of therapy. The article analyzes the similarities and differences between the types of dilemmas experienced between the two disciplines.

    Atwal, A., & Caldwell, K. (2003). Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge planning: Four broken principles. Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 50(4), 244-251. This article examines ethical dilemmas occupational therapists may face during discharge planning. Data was collected from ten occupational therapists to determine how well therapists are able to follow the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Researchers found that the therapists in this study unintentionally breached these four principles. The authors speculate that a push for speedy discharges leaves many therapists facing ethical dilemmas. The authors offer solutions for eliminating breaches of each of the four ethical principles listed above. They suggest that utilizing a multidisciplinary approach may offer a means of discussing ethical concerns so that practitioners are better able to provide ethical care.
