They are too complex and time consuming. They cover too many relevant considerations. They do not provide a simple box-checking approach. 7 / 7 One of the primary drawbacks of the four principles approach is its accuracy its leading to compromise its making patients happy with an outcome not in their favor stalemate Your score is The average score is 69% LinkedIn Facebook Twitter VKontakte 0% Restart quiz 7 Created on December 23, 2021 Big Data, Tech Ethics, and Privacy A short quiz on big data 1 / 15 Some issues caused by big data include Discrimination Too much marketing Privacy risk Unfairness in profits All of the above 2 / 15 When a new invention or technology collects data and the patent-holder of the technology has rights to the data produced by its use, that entity holds a trade secret data-generating patent trademark plant patent 3 / 15 Black-box medicine refers to the use of big data in treating disease.

All of the following are ways in which disclosure of a conflict can be ethically sufficient to allow the conflict of interest to persist except the conflict did not lead the person making the disclosure to significant financial gain the person disclosing is a clinician recommending only the medicine that is the subject of the conflict and alternatives exist checks in the system like oversight of research counterbalanced the conflict the personal goals of the researcher align with public goals 2 / 11 To eliminate conflicts of interest, some ideas include barring people who would profit from laws from sitting on government commissions that influence responsible laws ending the revolving door between agencies that have approval or oversight responsibilities and the corporations they regulate separating lab research from clinical care to remove the temptation to promote experimentation based on ego when alternatives exist and to limit instances where personal power can impact patients directly limiting the use of disclosure as the sole means to counteract conflicts of interest; focus on eliminating the conflict over divulging it all of the above 3 / 11 Doctors may fail to recognize a patient's or parent's right to refuse care out of fear of liability to cure the patient to share important research 4 / 11 Most academic medical journals accept disclosure of conflicts of interest as sufficient based on their overvaluing the principle of fairness transparency beneficence censorship 5 / 11 Hospital ethics committees likely have a conflict of interest based on their composition.

A welfare check is done and child protective services is sent. They see expired food items and the family is placed under strict surveillance and monitored for potential custody loss. This would represent the system properly working to err on the side of protecting children. This would represent a flaw in the system of mandatory reporting. 7 / 7 People who have discretion to exercise autonomy in their workplace should use common sense as a check on AI or tech gone wrong an opportunity to make an exception to a rule that would be absurd in its uniform application an opportunity to improve efficiency all of the above Your score is The average score is 95% LinkedIn Facebook Twitter VKontakte 0% Restart quiz 5 Created on December 24, 2021 Treatment or Enhancement?
