What is my claim? What should this person do?
What would you do? Be prepared to defend your claim. 
Why is my claim ethical?
Your reasons explaining your decision should be consistent with a particular ethical theory given in the text and cited below. Your reasons should address why your claim is ethical. Do not include reasons such as, “It would hurt my reputation” or “It would cost me money.” These may seem like compelling reasons to you, but they do not address the question of ethics. 
What ethical theory supports my claim and why?
Use one or more of the theories discussed in the text or class that support your claim. Provide citations as required. Citations acknowledge the contributions of others and give your argument more credibility. 
Qualifications
Do I acknowledge alternatives, complications, objections, and how do I respond? Careful readers will question your argument, so you should anticipate as many of their questions as you can, and then respond to the most important ones. Provide citations as appropriate. This will give your argument more credibility. 
Case study questions
Type any and all of the questions given at the end of the case study. Answer all of the questions. Your answers should be consistent with your reasoning presented in your ethical claim (argument).
