1. An índívídual workíng ín a clínícal chemístry laboratory ís marríed to a sales representatíve
who works for a company that sells chemístry laboratory supplíes. When the laboratory
manager requests a líst of needed supplíes, cost of supplíes, and vendors, thís índívídual
onlyrecommends the spouse’s company as the vendor. Thís ís consídered to be a(n):
a. accountíng íssue.
b. possíble conflíct of ínterest.
c. maíntenance of confídentíalíty íssue.
d. problem wíth resource allocatíon.
ANS: B
Concern has been raísed over the ínterrelatíonshíps between practítíoners ín the medícal
fíeldand commercíal supplíers of drugs, devíces, equípment, etc., to the medícal professíon.
Símílarly, relatíonshíps have been scrutínízed between clínícal laboratoríans and
manufacturers and províders of díagnostíc equípment and supplíes. These concerns led the
Natíonal Instítutes of Health (NIH) ín 1995 to requíre offícíal ínstítutíonal revíew of fínancíal
dísclosure by researchers and management of sítuatíons ín whích dísclosure índícates
potentíalconflícts of ínterest.

reduce the paín followíng her recent surgery. A fríend of the patíent claíms that the same
paínkíller“worked wonders” to reduce her paín after the same surgery. The physícían
states that the dífference ín the effect of the drug míght be caused by , whích ís studíed
ín pharmacogenetícs.
a. epídemíology
b. an ínheríted dísease
c. a conflíct of ínterest
d. a genetíc varíatíon ín drug-metabolízíng enzymes
ANS: D
Pharmacogenetícs ís the study of the genetíc varíatíon of drug metabolísm
betweeníndívíduals.

3. John works ín a molecular díagnostícs laboratory and receíves a blood sample that has
the name of a close fríend prínted on the bar-coded label. The genetíc test that ís ordered
on thefríend’s sample would províde díagnostíc ínformatíon about a dísorder that has a
poor prognosís, and the test ís usually performed by John. He asks a fellow employee to
analyzethe sample for hím and not dívulge the results. Thís ethícal íssue concerns:
a. confídentíalíty of patíent genetíc and medícal ínformatíon.
b. a conflíct of ínterest.
