Making decisions about healthcare policies, staff education, community issues, patient issues, and clinical practice-related issues are the goals of ethical committees (Morrison & Furlong, 2019, p. 108). The ethics committee's functions and responsibilities must be clearly specified. For Parkview Nursing Care Center, the medical director, director of nursing, administrator, social worker, volunteer preacher, and community member would make up the ethical committee. I would rely on the ethical principle of autonomy while offering advice. Each member will need to respect the independence of the others.
