4. You are a Medical Technologist, you are designated as an HIV counselor. One of your patients tested positive. During counseling, he told you that he had sex with 10 individuals in the past 2 months. He pleaded that you should not disclose his results. Besides, as a medical technologist, you need to observe confidentiality. This implies that you must not disclose any information about the patient. However, you are considering the welfare of the 10 individuals that he had contact with. HIV is a lethal condition especially when it advances to AIDS. The onset of HIV is mostly asymptomatic and a lot of individuals are not aware of its presence unless they will be tested. What would you do if you are in this situation?
5. You are a Medical Technologist and your supervising pathologist asked you to redo the blood chem test. This implies that you need to extract another sample from your patient. Your supervising pathologist claims that there are inconsistencies with the data and his diagnosis. He is suspecting that you might be made an error in running the test. You know that you carefully followed all the procedures and you are confident that the test has a very low probability of error. You learned from series of journals in Laboratory Science that error in the test is less likely to happen. Its accuracy is almost 98%. However, your supervising pathologist insists to redo the test before giving the prescription to the patient. In ethics, you just need to conduct any medical procedure such as getting a blood patient if it is necessary. What would you do if you are in this situation
