This paper is the second place winner in JSWVE’s 2006-2007 Term Paper Contest.
The application of social work values and ethics, as defined by the NASW Code of Ethics, in work with a 15-year-old acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient facing the possibility of Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT) is explored. Highlighted are issues common in pediatric medical social work: both the constant reconsideration of who to define as the primary client, the patient or the parents, and the intricacies of working on a medical interdisciplinary team. Also considered are the legally-defined medical decision-making rights of a minor. Following the outlining of several possible courses of action, one scenario is presented as the best course to follow.
