"Review the article on
Age Old Question (Course Session). Take a position on the elderly
driving vehicles. Support your position using the NOSHE standards. Which
standards in support your position? Does your position compromise any
of the standards, if so- which ones?"
I
believe that the elderly should be respected and that for the most part
they are fully capable of driving well up to the day they die unless
they suffer from other illnesses. However, if a person is showing signs
that raise red flags then I believe the person noticing the flags is
responsible to report the actions to the authorities. This of course is
in the best interest of the driver as well as those innocent individuals
who are driving and walking near where the driver is driving. This
means if a family member notices then they should do what ever they have
to to stop the person from driving (legally). If a starnger notices
then they should call the police and report the car and driver so that
they can check into the situation and hopefully help.
I
can support my opinion through NOSHE statement 2 (Treating clients with
integrity, and respect) statement 3 (client confidentiality- not
speaking to the world but to the proper authorities) statement 4
(Reporting when a person is endangering themselves or others).
