Step 2: Collect and analyze additional information related to this case study, including researching and explaining any legal considerations.

Step 3: Develop alternatives (different options) and compare them.

Step 4: Determine your position and justify it: 

• What specific actions should be taken to ensure an appropriate outcome? 
• Why is your position important, needed, or beneficial for vulnerable populations? 
• Are the legal and ethical responsibilities in alignment with each other? If they are not in alignment, how does your position deal with that conflict?

Step 5: Find strategies to implement the plan: 

• What ethical arguments could you use to persuade someone who disagrees with your position?
