Doctors who lack proper training or those who have impairment problems tend to believe that their patients are honest about issues concerning prescriptions. These may include certain issues such as losing prescriptions, or early refills. This, however, only happens when the doctor fails to identify a drug abuse problem in the patient. Another ethical dilemma in the same field occurs when doctors do not disclose full patient history in the medical file of the patient. This may cause other doctors to prescribe the wrong drug thus putting the life of the patient at risk, either due to possible
These side effects may affect one person but not another. This would be hard to study as you can not say it is exactly one thing, and then you would have to look at the extraneous variables which affect each problem. However, this could also be good as it is not really being reductionist in its own approach; it is looking at all the possible individual differences. If choosing a different approach, like cognitive, then it would still be difficult because you do not know what the person is thinking. You would have to rely on the patient giving you the information for it not is socially desirable or have demand characteristics.
Secondly, balance in the monitoring of high-risk patients was inadequate. Staff failed to implement additional monitoring for Mr. B.

While taking the history I struggled to communicate on the right level for the child to comprehend the events that were taking place. I did not achieve a good rapport with child initially, possibly I think because of apprehension related to her fear of pain. I struggled to avoid the use of medical jargon and I had to communicate with the father frequently to ascertain some parts of the history. I obtained an x-ray of the affected leg, in which there was no obvious fracture noted. There is subsequent negotiation between the child, father and myself in regards to the best treatment.
It is difficult to put yourself into the situation Dax was dealing with, the only way to understand would require one of us experiencing the pain he was going through. The physicians were doing their best to act morally in this situation because it is assumed that they are human beings doing what they felt was ethically and morally right for Dax. It is hard to decide if the physicians truly knew what was right for Dax throughout his treatment. Even though the doctors did not make the decision that Dax wanted, the fact that he was still alive and was
The way staff communicate with each other effects communication in the work place for example if a worker had a lack of passion for their job they were moaning all the time, other members of staff might avoid that particular person. There are good communication between staff as physiotherapists will work with a patient and reports back how independent and mobile, if any manual handling equipment must be used. This is effective communication as it allows workers to do their job safely. 1.3 It is important to observe an individual’s reactions when communicating with them as it can help show how they are really feeling, or if they do not understand what you are trying to explain to them.
