MULTIPLE
CHOICE
1. An individual working in a clinical chemistry laboratory is married to a sales
representative who works for a company that sells chemistry laboratory
supplies. When the laboratory manager requests a list of needed supplies, cost
of supplies, and vendors, this individual only recommends the spouse’s
company as the vendor. This is considered to be a(n):
a. accounting issue.
b. possible conflict of interest.
c. maintenance of confidentiality issue.
d. problem with resource allocation.
ANS: B
Concern has been raised over the interrelationships between practitioners in the
medical field and commercial suppliers of drugs, devices, equipment, etc., to
the medical profession.
Similarly, relationships have been scrutinized between clinical laboratorians and
manufacturers and providers of diagnostic equipment and supplies. These
concerns led the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1995 to require official
institutional review of financial disclosure by researchers and management of
situations in which disclosure indicates potential conflicts of interest.

2. A patient visits her physician stating that her prescribed painkiller is not working
to reduce the pain following her recent surgery. A friend of the patient claims that
the same painkiller “worked wonders” to reduce her pain after the same surgery.
The physician states that the difference in the effect of the drug might be caused
by , which is studied in
pharmacogenetics.
a. epidemiology
b. an inherited disease
c. a conflict of interest
d. a genetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes
ANS: D
Pharmacogenetics is the study of the genetic variation of drug
metabolism between individuals.

3. John works in a molecular diagnostics laboratory and receives a blood sample
that has the name of a close friend printed on the bar-coded label. The genetic
test that is ordered on the friend’s sample would provide diagnostic
information about a disorder that has a poor prognosis, and the test is usually
performed by John. He asks a fellow employee to analyze the sample for him
and not divulge the results. This ethical issue concerns:
a. confidentiality of patient genetic and medical information.
b. a conflict of interest.
