Question
2.Dr. Hunt is a physician at a major research hospital He is visiting a new patient, Mr. Clifion who was recently admited to the hospital for right upper quadrant pain suggestive of gallstones and cholecystitis. Dr. Hundt checks in with the patient to examine him and to explain what the course of hospitalization will be. The patient appears il, but is alert and oriented. "We will have to draw blood to check some basic labs and to see if you have any possibility of infection." Dr. Hundt explains. Mr. Clifton nods in understanding. "I do want to mention to you a program of ours that has been approved by our IRB, which oversees human subjects research." Dr. Hundt continues. "When obtaining blood samples for labs, we often have leftover blood and tissue. Because we have many researchers studying and developing therapies for genetic diseases, we are attempting to build up out database of genetic material to study population trends and genetic variations of disease. We have therefore established a program for banking leftover blood in our DNA database, in conjunction with basic demographics and medical information obtained from your medical record. We extract the DNA and make the information available to our researchers. Your name and identifying information are removed, and our researchers sign a confidentiality form promising that they will not try to reidentify the source of any genetic specimen," "Can you tell me more about what kinds of research the samples are used for?" Mr. Clifton asks. "The spectrum of research varies across disciplines and disease systems, and the specimens will be used for as-yet-undetermined projects. Dr Hundt gives Mr. Cliftion a brochure. As Dr. Hundt is leaving, Mr. Cliftion asks if he has to sign anything before the lab comes. "No need, Mr. Clifton. The specimen will be automatically entered into our database without any further actin from you." Dr. Hundt explains. "If you choose not to participate, there is a form at the end of that brochure. Please give that to the phlebotomist and that will let us know not to send your blood to the biobank." Assess the ethicalness of the informed consent process.Explanation / Answer
Here the above followings the doctor has informed that collection of blood to the lab in order to know the infection but in the report normally it reveals the blood count but not the disease condition. The patient is diagnosed with cholelithiasis but they are providing treatment for the genetic diseases. Informed consent to the patient in the above following. Here mr.clifton(patient) itself asked about lab reports. Actually the doctor and heaHea care professional has to pay attention for the reports.
