nurse Briana Aguirre” (17 min 25 s), located below/here.Next, respond to the
following questions. Texas Presbyterian nurse Briana Aguirre who treated Ebola
stricken colleagues announced publicly that her protective outfit had rips, as
well as gaps in it – exposing body parts to the potentially deadly Ebola virus.
She claimed that hospital administration ignored her concerns when she brought
it to their attention, and she was given no Ebola training. Briana Aguirre has
received praise from colleagues and the media for going public with this
information, as well as harsh criticism for being a “whistleblower” from other
colleagues and the media. In your opinion, did Briana Aguirre act ethically or
unethically in going public with this information? Should she be fired from the
Texas Presbyterian hospital? Support or challenge Briana Aguirre’s decision to
