Settling a debate- is it unethical to tell your confused, alcohol detox patient (who is violent and threatening staff over liquor) that the mix of apple juice and ginger ale you are handing them is angry orchard? Yes, the pt did calm down and laughed when he learned what his mocktale really was a few days later. Yes, this is a Wisconsin hospital.

It's the lightest shade of grey area, in my opinion. Sure, it's dishonest, but the risk of insisting on honesty here is that you put staff in danger, and that's not as acceptable as this lie imo. I understand why you're asking, though.

I probably wouldn’t have said what the drink was in any way. I would have just set the drink down and said something vague like “here ya go… I think you’ll really like it! Let me know what you think”. I just wouldn’t say what it is or isn’t lol

No, you shouldn't lie to your patient.

I don't think its unethical. Do what you need to do.

I think it’s a wonderful idea. Especially since it helped him be calm and that’s the ultimate goal for him to be comfortable and safe🥰

Thank you.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.
