My colleague in this case opted to focus on the utilization of personal communication devices (PCDs) in the healthcare realm. PCDs, as McBride and LeVasseur (2017) point out, could be inclusive of, but they are not limited to tablet computers and smartphones owned by healthcare staff. It would be prudent to note that although the utilization of PCDs has been associated with a number of benefits in as far as the further promotion of efficiency and achievement of better coordination is concerned, there are a number of concerns on the ethical and legal front that practitioners ought to be aware of on this front. This, according to my colleague, is more so the case when it comes to privacy and confidentiality. This is an assertion further reinforced by Bromwich and Bromwich (2016), who are categorical that risks associated with the use of smart phones to produce and store medical images include privacy breaches, insecure data storage and physician or institution liability for failure to obtain patient consent (856).

Yet another issue that could have legal and ethical repercussions despite being associated with immense benefits in as far as the facilitation...…colleague points out, concerns have been raised in the past regarding the maintenance of confidentiality and privacy in the course of deploying and utilizing telemedicine solutions. These concerns, and many others, have been outlined in past research studies. For instance, in a recent systematic review by Ftouni, Aljardali, Hamdanieh, Ftouni, and Salem (2022), the authors make an observation to the effect that although telemedicine was one of the most beneficial technologies deployed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the concerns revolving around its use were inclusive of privacy, data confidentiality and reimbursement, physical examination and diagnostics, special populations challenges, training of…

Medical specialists suggest the use of prenatal screening, as it will identify the possible risks of: the pregnancy and the available options for assessing / treating the fetus' health risks.

This is why issues surrounding: the moral and ethical considerations are increasing on DNA-based tests. In every test, there are: ethical,
ethical implications of a business polluting a third world country are fairly straightforward -- at first. Businesses are able to do such things in third world countries because of a number of factors that are intrinsically related to the innate poverty that exists in these nations. As such, it appears as though businesses are forsaking the health concerns of local inhabitants in order to maximize their profits and increase
For example, fast food companies' decision to target African-Americans and Latinos in their promotional campaigns may play a role in the higher rates of obesity amongst these groups. Individuals who are more likely to be poor, have less access to nutritional information, and find it difficult to obtain healthy food without greater effort may be more vulnerable to such messages. "African-American youth viewed 50% more fast food ads on
Whether someone views something as a placebo or not from a medical standpoint, if it improves the health and well-being of a patient then it is good for that patient, and good for the medical community as a whole (Ambrose, 2007). The second reason for the health care system to allow alternative medicine is that people believe in it in the same way that they believe in placebo pills if
(Newman, 1) Here, it can be evidenced that the empathy accorded by the theoretical framework will provide an ideological umbrella for how best to address one's condition while simultaneously abiding the regulatory medical requirements common to most forms of modern treatment. This means possessing a degree of pertinent information where nursing theory is concerned that will allow for such pragmatism and a firm understanding of the practices pertinent to kidney
Globalization and Its Ethical Implications The dynamic force of globalization, a phenomenon of interconnectedness and integration of economies around the world, has resulted not only to increasing opportunities for trade diversification but presents inherent risk such as global financial instability, increased inequalities, terrorism. In an increasingly interdependent world, increasing world population, scientific and technology innovation advancement, global human development issues, global governance, peace and security, global environment and natural resources are
