If you look at pages 110-111, you'll find a discussion about the controversy surrounding the question of whether a physician always has an obligation to tell a patient the truth. What are your thoughts on the issue? Do you think that there are times when it may be acceptable to withhold information from a patient?
Here's another thing to think about. Last class, we briefly discussed two commonly invoked principles in bioethics: the principle of beneficence and the principle of autonomy. How might these two principles come into conflict here?
You are working in a medical internist's office. A 56-year-old female patient comes into the office for a routine examination. She states that she did not get her recommended colonoscopy examination because no one in her family has colon cancer and she did not understand the instructions.

One doctor writes a combination of lidocaine, antacid, and Benadryl for a sore throat. Depending on the cause of the sore throat, she may add nystatin, an antifungal medication, or acyclovir, an antiviral medication. A typical prescription will read: antacid 1 part, lidocaine 2 parts, Benadryl 1 part, and nystatin 4 parts; dispense 8 ounces. We have found one of the simplest ways to calculate the amount of each drug to mix is by using fractions. First we add up the total number of “parts,” and this becomes our denominator or bottom number. For this compound, the denominator is 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8. The numerator or top number is how many parts of that ingredient are used. For example, two parts of the mixture are lidocaine, so lidocaine is 2/8 of the mixture. To calculate how many ounces of lidocaine are needed, the fraction is multiplied by the total…arrow_forward
