Anti-smoking campaigns and laws banning smoking in public places protect people from the negative health effects of second-hand smoke, yet some believe that they infringe on the individual rights of those who choose to smoke. Requiring childhood immunizations has helped prevent diseases such as polio and measles, but some parents assert that they have the right to decide if being immunized is in the best interest of their children.This tension also exists in the allocation of scarce resources, from providing adequate staff coverage to making decisions about the amount of health care to provide. Given the nurse?s involvement in policy and health care delivery, it is important to understand the dynamics of this tension, as well as the legal and ethical implications.To prepare:When \u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ffhave you encountered a tension between the individual right and the \u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ffcollective good in your nursing practice?With \u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ffinformation from the Learning Resources in mind, consider relatively \u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ff\u00ffrecent examples of health care policy that demonstrate this tension.
