Capella University Duty to Warn Duty to Protect Privacy Versus Disclosure Case Study

Case Study: Privacy Versus Disclosure

Suppose you are supervising an employee who works in a substance abuse treatment facility. The employee reports that a client she is caring for has informed her that the client no longer wants to live and wants help to commit suicide.

The principle is that every client has the right to confidentiality and that the caregiver must respect this right. However, the client also has the free right to make her own decisions in accordance with the principle of self-determination. The employee wants to report the desire of the client to do harm to herself in order to save her life, but the principle of confidentiality conflicts with the right of self-determination.
