Introduction: The concept of “doctor-patient confidentiality” derives from English common law and is codified in many states’ statutes. It is based on ethics‚ not law‚ and goes at least as far back as the Roman Hippocratic Oath taken by physicians. It is different from “doctor-patient privilege‚” which is a legal concept. Both‚ however‚ are called upon in legal matters to establish the extent by which ethical duties of confidentiality apply to legal privilege. Legal privilege involves the right to

WHY CONFIDENTIALITY IS IMPORTANT? Patients routinely communicate personal information with health care providers. On the off chance that the classifications of this information were not secured‚ trust in the doctor or health care provider relationship would be reduced. Patients would be less inclined to share sensitive information‚ which could adversely affect their care. Confidentiality is integral to the improvement of trust amongst specialists and patients. Patients must have the capacity to expect

which cell has the larger resting membrane potential? Explain. If the permeability to K is higher in A than in B‚ then the resting membrane potential (rmp) will be closer to the equilibrium potential in cell A‚ which means the rmp will be more negative in cell A than in cell B; or in other words‚ the potential difference will be LARGER in cell A. 2. Predict the effect of a reduced extracellular concentration of Na+ on the magnitude of the action potential in an electrically excitable cell. If there

SHAKESPEARE DRAMATISES THE TENSION BETWEEN PASSION AND REASON IN HAMLET TO WHAT EXTENT DOES THIS VIEW SUPPORT YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLAY Acts of passion and acts of reason can be differentiated by a sense of underlying tension‚ Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ published in 1601 explores these universal ideologies by dramatizing this underlying tension. ‘Hamlet’ presents challenging representations of the traditional values of passion and reason through their varying forms. The representation of these

A graded potential in physiology‚ is described as local changes in membrane potential that occur in varying grades or degrees of magnitude or strength. When compared to graded potential‚ an action potential is described as brief‚ rapid‚ large (100mV) changes in membrane potential during which the potential actually reverses so that the inside of the excitable cell transiently becomes more positive than the outside. As with a graded potential‚ an action potential involves only a small portion of

Maintaining a Healthy Body There are many theories and definitions to what a Healthy Body is. Health can be defined in terms of the absence of disease‚ which can be described as a negative approach to health (1). However another definition is that health are a state of complete physical‚ mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease (2). Each individual body is different therefore it can be difficult to perceive if they are healthy. By looking at a person you can see

THE WORK DONE BY A CONSERVATIVE FORCE ALWAYS HAS FOUR PROPERTIES: 1. It can be expressed as the difference between the initial and final values of a potential-energy function. 3. It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points. 2. It is reversible. 4. When the starting and ending points are the same‚ the total work is zero. The total mechanical energy ME = K + U is constant. Object moving in a uniform gravitational field gravitational a

Patient Confidentiality Confidentiality revolves round how staff members handle confidential patient information. To enable healthcare practitioners fully understand the health condition of patients‚ there is the need on the part of the patient to disclose what otherwise could have been private and discreet information about them. The patients trust that whatever information is passed to the clinician is held in absolute confidence. And the clinician‚ in this wise‚ is duty bound to keep the information
