Research nursing home ethics committees and write a 2 – 3 page paper on why a nursing home should have an ethics committee and what the responsibilities of the committee are.

In Chapter 8 of your textbook Moody (1996) discusses ethics committees in nursing homes and states that federal regulation may soon require that nursing homes move in the direction of establishing ethics committees (pp 172-174).

In addition to Joint Commission the American Medical Director Association (AMDA) recommends that each facility should have an ethics “mechanism” to assist in managing decisions such as do-not-resuscitate and other end-of-life issues (AMDA).
