-What is the role of conf i dent i ality in pat i ent-physician relat i onships ?

building trust and ensuring that patients feel comfortable disclosing
sensitive information. It also helps protect patient privacy and
promotes open communication between the patient and healthcare
provider.
-Describe one ethical concern related to genetic testing and

medicine is the potential for discrimination based on genetic
information. Employers or insurers may use genetic test results to

privacy and discrimination.

-What does the term ‘clinical equipoise’ mean in the context of


medical research ?

predetermined preference for one treatment over another,
maintaining ethical integrity in the research process.

4. Cultural sensitivity in global health ethics is important because it


acknowledges and respects cultural beliefs, practices, and values
that can influence healthcare decisions and outcomes. By
considering cultural differences, healthcare providers can ensure
that interventions are respectful, appropriate, and effective in
diverse populations.

Activity 04 :
1. Dr. Jones should consider the ethical principles of beneficence
(doing good and acting in the patient’s best interest),
autonomy (respecting Mr. Thompson’s right to make informed
decisions), justice (fair distribution of resources and access to
healthcare), and potentially nonmaleficence (not harming the
patient).

2. Dr. Jones should approach the issue of informed consent by


fully disclosing the risks, benefits, and costs of the treatment
to Mr. Thompson. He should ensure that Mr. Thompson has a
clear understanding of all aspects of the treatment, including
potential outcomes, alternative options, and the right to refuse
or withdraw from participation.
3. Considerations regarding the fairness and justice of access to
this treatment should involve assessing factors such as
financial limitations, insurance coverage, availability of funding
or assistance programs, and potential societal impact. Dr.
Jones should explore all possible avenues to ensure equitable
access to the treatment, including exploring financial
assistance options, advocating for insurance coverage, or
accessing clinical trial opportunities that may offer the
treatment at reduced or no cost.
