MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. An individual working in a clinical chemistry laboratory is married to a sales
representative who works for a company that sells chemistry laboratory supplies. When
the laboratory manager requests a list of needed supplies, cost of supplies, and vendors,
this individual only recommends the spouse’s company as the vendor. This is considered
to be a(n):
a. accounting issue.
b. possible conflict of interest.
c. maintenance of confidentiality issue.
d. problem with resource allocation.
ANS: B
Concern has been raised over the interrelationships between practitioners in the medical
field and commercial suppliers of drugs, devices, equipment, etc., to the medical profession.
Similarly, relationships have been scrutinized between clinical laboratoriANS and
manufacturers and providers of diagnostic equipment and supplies. These concerns led the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1995 to require official institutional review of
financial disclosure by researchers and management of situations in which disclosure
indicates potential conflicts of interest.

2. A patient visits her physician stating that her prescribed painkiller is not working to
reduce the pain following her recent surgery. A friend of the patient claims that the same
painkiller “worked wonders” to reduce her pain after the same surgery. The physician
states that the difference in the effect of the drug might be caused by , which is studied
in pharmacogenetics.
a. epidemiology
b. an inherited disease
c. a conflict of interest
d. a genetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes
ANS: D
Pharmacogenetics is the study of the genetic variation of drug metabolism between
individuals.
