Medical Law, Ethics, and Bioethics Chapter 1 Already Passed

Medical Law, Ethics, and Bioethics Chapter 1 Already Passed Medical law, ethics, and bioethics are necessary to understand D.) health law, differences in moral reasoning among individuals and groups, and the need to confront biases and bigotry Increasingly, hospitals find themselves in ambulatory care business when E.) certain procedures can only be performed in the hospital and medical technology is not available in a clinic setting The Hippocratic Oath B.) protected the rights of clients and appealed to the finer instincts of the physician The most important code of ethics for the ambulatory care professional is the C.) AAMA Code of Ethics and AAMA Creed Making an ethical and/or bioethical decision is based on E.) Accuracy, knowledge, and information of the particular issue Ethics is a set of moral standards or a code of behavior True Bioethics relates to societal rules or regulations obligatory to observe. False that definition is for Laws Increased numbers of specialists make it more difficult to coordinate client care. True National Healthcare Reform of 2010 is likely the most historic domestic policy since Medicare was created in 1965. True Blanchard and Peale identified a Patient Bill of Rights False they developed the Ethics Check State in your own words what medical law, ethics, and bioethics mean to you. Laws are rules that must be followed by all citizens or we can be punished in a court system. Ethics are more wrong or right. Ethics can be based upon morals that you were brought up with, like religious beliefs. Bioethics have more to do with medical technology and research. What is the difference between law and ethics? Can a law be unethical? Can an ethic be unlawful? Justify your response. Law are rules that must be followed whereas, ethics has more to do with morals what is right or wrong. I believe that a law can be unethical for example abortion. My ethical morals say that this is wrong. I believe that if you were to assist suicide that it would be unlawful if if you believed it to be the right thing. What would you do if your personal code of ethics does not agree with that of your employer? I would talk with my employer about any of our differences. I will respect theirs and hope in return they would respect mine. Do the Medical Assistant Code of Ethics and the Principles of Medical Ethics have any conflicting views? Explain I don't think they conflict. Medical assistants have pledge to do four of the nine things that a physician pledges. Render service with full respect human dignity, respect confidential information, continuing education, participate in improving the health and well being of the community. In a small group discussion, tell how you as a health-care professional can show respect for a client who is rude and disrespectful to you. Continue to treat the patient as you would want to be treated. What will you do if your opinions differ from your clients? For instance, a mother refuses inoculations for her child, and you believe they are necessary. I would provide the mother with any medical handouts on the inoculations. I have to respect her decision, all I can do is provide her with facts. Case Study for Chapter 1 In my opinion the MA should have known from school that you can not feel externally for heart murmurs, so she should have never laid down on that table so therefore she knew it was wrong. As far as the doctor, he knew it was wrong to touch her hence the two counts of forcible sex abuse. Concealing the camera and looking at women undress was wrong. Out of the nine AMA Principles of Medical Ethics he breached three/four of them. He did not have respect for human dignity and rights. He did not uphold the standards of professionalism, be honest in all professional interactions, and strive to report physicians deficient in character or competence, or engaging in fraud or deception. He did not respect the law. He did not respect the rights of patients, colleagues, and other health professionals, and safeguard patient confidences and privacy within the constraints of the law. I would have confronted him with the fact that you can not feel externally for heart murmurs. I also would have explained that I was taught in school how to do a EKG and asked him to lye down to that I could show him I knew how. If this didn't work I would probably turned in my resignation at that point. I would not allow myself to be taken advantage of if I knew better.
