Question

“A night shift laboratory technologist collects a blood specimen from her uncle at her family’s request because he has been having fatigue and low grade fevers. Her uncle does not have insurance or a doctor. She runs a CBC using another patient’s medical record number. What are the ethical issues?

Answer 1

It is un-ethical because she is using the labs materials for a non-paid for test and is not planning on coming out about it. It is lying and using another patients medical number is a form of identity theft and fraud.
