In the MORAL decision making model, which component involves outlining each alternative and weighing pros and cons?

• A. Message the dilemma as in who should be involved in the decision making process
• B. Outline your option, go through each alternative and go through the bad and the good
• C. Review criteria and resolve weigh the option against the ones in the decisions
• D. Affirms position and Act on the strategies and how you will set forth in it

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is generating and evaluating options. In this MORAL decision-making step you lay out each possible course of action and assess the good and bad aspects of each one. This explicit weighing helps you see trade-offs, anticipate consequences, and compare alternatives against your ethical principles and the patient’s values before deciding the best path. That’s why outlining every option and going through the positive and negative implications fits this component best. The other steps focus on who’s involved, setting criteria and weighing options against those criteria, or moving into the choice and implementation—stages that come after you’ve thoroughly explored and compared the options.
