Ethical Dilemma Worksheet
Incident Review

What is the ethical issue or problem? Identify the issue succinctly.
The issue is a corrections officer with the ethical dilemma of a recommendation for the
husband who is convicted of a 3

offense of DUI and a diagnosed medical condition of Post-
Traumatic Stress Disorder. Should the corrections office base his recommendation taking
into account husband’s Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or just base on a literal interpretation
of the law?
2.
What are the most important facts? Which facts have the most bearing on the ethical
decision presented? Include any important potential economic, social, or political pressures,
and exclude inconsequential facts.
The husband served to our country, he was POW, and this resulted in extreme traumatic.
The fact of the third conviction cannot be ignored. Social and political pressures may force
the judge to sentence the husband harshly, regardless of past trauma

Evaluating Alternatives
4.
What are two alternatives for the scenario? One alternative can be a wild card that you
ordinarily may not consider an option because of potential implications. Both should be within
free will and control of the same moral agent.
Alternative A
Alternative B
The Moral Agent could ask for more
detailed evaluation.
The husbands doctor could address the
idea of long-term psychiatric care.
5.
Respond to the following questions based on your developed alternatives.
Alternative A
Alternative B
What are the best- and
worst-case scenarios if
you choose this
alternative?
Best case scenario- more
detailed evaluation may help
the probation officer in making
the recommendation for the
best sentencing. Worst case
scenario the husband will
receive the maximum
sentencing.
Best case scenario would be that
the husband would be treated for
his trauma as opposed to jail.
Worst case scenario the husband
refused the treatment and go to
jail.
Will anyone be harmed if
this alternative is chosen?
If so, how will they be
harmed? Consider
families and derivative
effects.
If the husband goes to jail it
could possibly happen.
No, if the husband accepts the
treatment
Would honoring an idea
or value—such as
personal, professional, or
religious—make the
alternative invalid?
No
No
Are there any rules, laws,
or principles that support
the alternative? Are there
