Practitioner's Foundational Principle: Non-Maleficence

another interesting ethical assignment.

I attached a resource that could be used for the APA reference.

Dr. Max and Dr. Sims are colleagues who share an office space in a small private practice. Recently, Dr. Sims noticed that Dr. Max has been coming into work late, disheveled, and occasionally smelling of alcohol. There also have been a few instances in which Dr. Max has booked two patients into the same appointment slot. Dr. Sims is concerned that something in Dr. Max’s personal life may be adversely affecting his ability to provide appropriate patient care.
