The physician leading a research study asks a client to participate and infers that unless the client agrees the physician will no longer provide medical care for the client
What client right is violated in this situation?
1. Right of self-determination
2. Right to full disclosure
3. Right not to be harmed
4. Right of privacy and confidentiality
Correct Answer: 1
This proposal violates the client's right of self-determination. Right of self-determination means that subjects should feel free from constraints, coercion, or any undue influence to participate in a study. Right to full disclosure means that deception, either by withholding information about a client's participation in a study or by giving the client false or misleading information about what participating in the study will involve, violates ethical principles. Right of privacy and confidentiality is a basic right that allows the client to participate in a study without worrying about later embarrassment or disclosure of personal information. Right not to be harmed is the right to be free of exposure to the possibility of injury going beyond everyday situations. Risks can be physical, emotional, legal, financial, or social.
