Part2

Respond to 2 classmates posts

Response 1:

The impact with ethics is about behaviors as well patient rights in the past there were not patient rights whatever was told for patients to do they had to follow if doctors want their patients to be a part of an experiment they could be enrolled without patient knowledge. In the past patients had to do what was told by their doctors whether the patient felt it was right or not you had to follow the doctor’s orders. Today we have patient rights as well as these rights being explained to patients and patients signing that their rights were given.

In the past, it was called experiments to find answers for healthcare, and you were picked for these experiments, today it is called research, and now are asked to volunteer as well as given the information as to what you are being considered for the research. Ethics was not used or considered in the past with patients to gain information for better health. Patient ethics, healthcare ethics are set in place to protect us all in more ways than one.

Response 2:

Health care ethics are core principles that are used when making health care decisions so, when a person is choosing to enroll in a research study they would need to sign a consent of their patient rights. A patient’s bill of rights allows the volunteer to ask any questions they may have about the study. To feel free of pressure when signing up and receive a copy of their consent form. If a study patient chooses to opt out of the study they can do so without obligations (University Health , 2021). Another past ethical issue that has impacted today’s health care research and overall health care system is confidentiality of patients as well as patient safety. Anytime a patient chooses to sign up to a new case study they want to make sure that their information is not up for display to the public but used for the discovery of new medications or medical treatments. Patient safety is also of high concern. By monitoring health changes, informing patients of the purpose of the study, and how it may assist them with their medical health concerns allowing patients to feel safe when involved in the case study.
