    Juan and Joe are friends who work in the same radiography department. One night while playing around, Juan accidentally breaks some equipment. He asks his friend to not tell anyone it was his fault. The next morning, their boss asks what happened and Juan lies, saying someone else must have broken it. The boss then asks the friend. Using principled reasoning, the friend would tell the boss the truth - that Juan broke the equipment - as their duty is to be truthful and responsible in their profession, even if it damages their friendship. The principles of friendship and professional commitment conflict, but professional responsibility has a higher value.

    Title Duty-Oriented Reasoning: A Matter of Principle:


    : A Case Study Analysis
    Name Trisha Faye P. Ortega Level: BSN 2A Date September 1, 2020
    : :

    Case:

    Juan and Joe are good friends. They both graduated from the same program and
    have gone to work in the same radiography department. Part of their duties is to be sure
    that the standby equipment is ready for service on the wards. Juan and Joe are working
    the night shift, and while playing around, Juan inadvertently bumps the equipment, tips it
    over, and breaks the standby instrument.

    In that it was an accident, Juan asks you as a friend, not to tell anyone it was his
    fault. “Accidents do happen”. The two of you switch out the equipment, sending the
    broken piece down to maintenance, and put a working instrument on standby.

    In the morning your boss comes in and notices that the equipment has been sent
    down to maintenance. He asks what happened, and Juan says, “I dunno. Someone from
    out of the department must have bumped it or something”. The boss looks at you and
    asks you the same question.

    1. Solve the problem using duty-oriented or principled reasoning. Remember that in


    this form of reasoning, it is not the consequences that are considered but rather the
    principles involved.

    In solving the problem using duty-oriented or principled reasoning, I will tell the
    truth to my boss that Juan inadvertently bumped the equipment, tipped it over, and
    broke the standby instrument. Regardless of my friendship with Juan, my
    responsibility and duty are to be dedicated and truthful to my profession. I will not lie
    to my boss as it will state otherwise. I will let rationality to prevail even it will cost
    my friendship with Juan.

    2. What principles are involved in this case?

    The principles involved in this case are the value of friendship and the
    commitment and responsibility to the profession.

    3. Do any of the principles involved conflict with each other?

    Yes, the principles involve conflict with each other. If I choose to be committed
    and responsible to my profession by telling the truth to my boss, it will hurt my
    friendship with Juan and vice versa.

    4. Do some principles have higher value than others?

    Yes, without any second thoughts, some principles have a higher value than
    others. In this situation, the responsibility and commitment in the profession weigh
    more than my friendship with Juan. Ethically, we must acknowledge our
    responsibility and commitment to our duties as we are in the work environment. In a
    general manner, this situation serves as an example wherein the absolutist view must
    prevail.
