Abstract
Background: Ethic in lab, ethic in pharmacy and ethic in nursing are central components in today’s health and medicine delivery which involves cooperation from different fields of practice including laboratory, pharmacy, nursing and medicine. However, the ethical requirement applicable in each of the professions may at times prove difficult to implement while their responsibilities intersect. Aim: This work intends to examine the ethical standards that underpin laboratory, pharmacy and nursing processes; establish the problems that may ensue from the interdisciplinary framework; and recommend measures that would promote sound ethical functioning in the health-care setting. Methods: A presentation of the ethical issues in health care, samples of ethical issues in health care, and the evaluation of approaches to enhancing interprofessional communication and collaboration and decision made were performed. The place of technology and the legal solutions for the ethical approaches was also discussed. Results: It was evidenced that the regulations of each profession were based on some eth limited set of principles including beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, and confidentiality. Ethical concerns are created by role confusion, inconsistent responsibilities and loyalties of different professionals, and effective communication problems. Some case descriptions pointed to the challenges with interprofessional approach in addressing these dilemmas.
