Next, respond to the following questions. Texas Presbyterian nurse
Briana Aguirre who treated Ebola stricken colleagues announced publicly
that her protective outfit had rips, as well as gaps in it – exposing
body parts to the potentially deadly Ebola virus. She claimed that
hospital administration ignored her concerns when she brought it to
their attention, and she was given no Ebola training. Briana Aguirre has
received praise from colleagues and the media for going public with
this information, as well as harsh criticism for being a “whistleblower”
from other colleagues and the media. In your opinion, did Briana
Aguirre act ethically or unethically in going public with this
information? Should she be fired from the Texas Presbyterian hospital?
