Appendix N2 - Pharmacists face ethical choices constantly -- sometimes dramatic life-and-death decisions, but more often subtle, less conspicuous choices that are nonetheless important. Among the topics confronted are assisted suicide, conscientious refusal, pain management, equitable distribution of drug resources within institutions and managed care plans, confidentiality, and alternative and non-traditional therapies. Veatch and Haddad's book, first published in 1999, was the first collection of case studies based on the real experiences of practicing pharmacists, for use as a teaching tool for pharmacy students. The second edition accounts for the many changes in pharmacy since 1999, including assisted suicide in Oregon, the purchasing of less expensive drugs from Canada, and the influence of managed care on prescriptions. The presentation of some cases is shortened, most are revised and updated, and two new chapters have been added. The first new chapter presents a new model for analyzing cases, while the second focuses on the ethics of new drug distribution systems, for example hospitals where pharmacists are forced to choose drugs based on cost-effectiveness, and internet based pharmacies; Common terms and phrases: abortion ACE inhibitors action active killing American Pharmaceutical Association antibiotic APhA Code aprepitant asked assisted suicide behavior believe beneficence and nonmaleficence benefit the patient benefits and harms bevacizumab Bioethics Blash cancer chapter chemotherapy choice claim clinical clinical pharmacist clinician Code of Ethics colleagues Commentary commitment committee competent concerned confidentiality conflict consequences consider contraceptive patches contraceptives controversial cost counseling death decide decision­making decisions disclose disease dispensing dose drug duty esmolol ethical principle ethical problems evaluations Farney fetus fidelity formulary gene genetic health professional Hippocratic ethic Hippocratic Oath hospital incompetent informed consent involved issues judgments justified NSAIDs one’s options participate person Pharm.D pharmacy physician possible potential pregnancy prescription principle of autonomy promise question reason refuse requires responsible risks rules seems side effects someone substantially autonomous surrogate tell terminal sedation therapy traditional treatment utilitarian welfare well­being woman wrong ER -
