Question

There is an ethical problem as a healthcare worker when you can not communicate as you should with your patient and have competence to provide necessary treatment. I wanted to be a bit biased and say that someone who is deaf is probably able to be a nurse or someone in healthcare but since language barriers are significant healthcare problems already adding another barrier may not seem ideal to an employer. For the blind, I can't see any way around it because you supposed to be able to see what is going on with them to give an appropriate diagnosis.  

Answer 1

In healthcare professionals the three senses like vision,hearing and speaking are very essential because it is necessary to be very cautious and take appropriate timely immediate intervention for patient problems. A delay in care can cost the life of patient. It is an ethical obligation during placement of staff with these defects but it is certainly possible to place a nurse who is dump or deff who can manage and care things under supervision and guidance with the help of technology.Vision impairment is a real challenge because the care starts with observation when this perception is lacking it is nearly impossible to diagnose the patient condition and treat and care them accordingly.
