Prepare a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper on legal and ethical issues concerning workplace drug testing while also addressing workplace drug prevention and education programs. Consider these issues: • Types of drug tests, such as urinalysis and sweat tests, and the reliability of those methods • Types of drug testing programs, such as mandatory and voluntary • Appropriateness of certain testing programs for specific environments • Who to test and why Offer critical judgment regarding the ethical and legal implications of drug testing, given the various factors outlined above. Evaluate the ethical and legal considerations of workplace prevention and education programs. Explore the ethical implications of mandatory drug education in the workplace. Use at least three sources other than the text, reflecting current research.
Management and certain workers should acquire education on drug seeking behavior among patients and workers (Harldorsson 2007). Clinicians need to be taught about the regulations concerning control use of substances and the ethical rules and regulations that follow them. It is essential for doctors to understand their moral duty to their patients and to their employers. Cases concerning ethical violation tend to destroy the reputation of the employers (hospitals), ruining the name of the hospital. It is the work of the health practitioner to acquire knowledge on how to help a patient who gets control drugs from online pharmacies.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Reform Act of 2012 H.R. 5651” (Anonymous, 2012, p. 14) to protect the nation’s drug supply. The Act covers generic drug supply chains by inspecting all foreign and domestic drug production. This enactment should help to put generic drugs on the market sooner because manufacturers will pay application fees for faster drug approvals. Manufacturers of food, drugs, and other products regulated by the FDA are subject to recalls if a product harms consumers, or its effectiveness do not meet the claims
Even though it is the patient's right to be able to participate in regimens for anti-aging therapy, the nurse has the obligation to warn the patient concerning side effects of such treatments. During the 30 day program, Scott experienced the negative effects of the injections. Not only was if affecting him physically but also personally. The patient is a whole person and must be able to function in various roles in society. Exposure to unregulated drugs and therapies could wreak havoc on the form and function of an individual's abilities to accomplish these
The Case of Neurontin Juan Jesus Lopez RES/351 January 23, 2013 Edward Balian The Case of Neurontin “The goal of ethics in research is to ensure that no one is harmed or suffers adverse consequences from research activities.” (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). In the article of Neurontin written by Dr. Ramirez De Arellano, she discusses the unethical practice of, “selective outcome reporting”, conducted by pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Parke-Davis. Neurontin, which is the brand name for gabapentin, is prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy. Some physicians prescribe Neurontin for, “off-label”, uses such as insomnia, migraines, bipolar disorder, and restless leg syndrome. In some cases off-label uses often exceed the intended use, which in turn becomes very profitable for the pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Policies are arising in several directions to prevent the intentional, or unintentional, slip of information. Each facility should adapt their own personal rules and regulations regarding the issue of social media and patient privacy. In a law suit regarding a potential violation of the HIPAA, The General Hospital Corporation and Massachusetts General Physicians Organization Inc. agreed to a substantial fine to the U.S. government (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2011). This type of fine sets the example that a violation of patient’s privacy and rights is strictly prohibited. Within social media, a disgruntled employee may also use the sites to damage confidential information regarding a patient.
If I was to work with a construction company such as Turner Construction I would observe workers and see if any display a drop in moral or show a great deal of fatigue and disinterest in their work. If this is so it would be a huge burden on the company’s work. At that point it would be my duty to take this in employee and set him or her up with counseling or an out-patient program. The benefits of becoming a drug & alcohol abuse assistance coordinator with Turner Construction, as stated on their website, would include many such as medical, dental and vision. That would include everything from prescription drugs, family dental plans to eye examinations.
The random selection process precludes an employer from attempting to pre-select a particular employee for a drug test. An employer can also drug test an employee if they have reasonable suspicion or an employee has given cause to have the employer require a drug test. The evidence is based on the direct observations made by supervisors or co-workers that an employee has used or possesses illicit substances, exhibits physical symptoms of being under the influence, and has patterns of abnormal or erratic behavior. Prior to returning to work from either recovering from an injury that may have occurred as a result of an accident or incident that happened in the workplace or if an employee tested positive during a random drug test and was given the opportunity to undergo inpatient treatment. The employer may be required to provide a specimen to ensure that the employee is drug-free before being allowed to return to work (Division of Workplace Programs,
Compare and Contrast, Drug Testing The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast drug testing in the workplace and technology in the workplace with regard to an employee’s right to privacy. Four key points/objectives will be compared and contrasted with Case 7-1, Drug Testing and the Right to Privacy: Arguing the Ethics of Workplace Drug Testing, (Hartman and DesJardins, page 376), and for Case 7-4, The Ethical Use of Technology in Business (Hartman and DesJardins, page 397). The first objective deals with defining privacy. Hartman and DesJardins on page 337 define privacy in two ways: Privacy as a right to be “left alone” and privacy as the right to control information about oneself. Case 7-1 deals with drug testing and the author, Michael Cranford argues that drug testing is ethically justified in employment.
