Identify the ethical dilemma in the case study provided, evaluate alternative actions and discuss the ethical and legal implications

Identify the ethical dilemma in the case study provided, evaluate alternative actions and discuss the ethical and legal implications, and assess what is the best option to address the situation. Your evaluation should be based on the four principles approach of biomedical ethics, the code of ethics for pharmacists and the code of conduct for pharmacists. case study: You are the pharmacist in charge of a community pharmacy in Chippendale. Mrs Smith is a regular patient of yours and has been prescribed Endone for chronic pain. She has been prescribed 180 tablets at a time from her pain specialist but also seems to be getting scripts from the GP with top up quantities of 20 tablets at a time. Mrs Smith tells you that both doctors are communicating with each other and are in agreement regarding what she is taking. She does not want you communicating with her doctors, but you are suspicious that she is doctor shopping. You wonder whether you should be looking at My Health Record and are uncertain how to proceed at this point. questions: 1. Identify the ethical dilemma that exists for you as the pharmacist in the above scenario and explain the ethical principles that are in conflict. 2. Identify the relevant ethical and legal significant factors in the scenario and discuss their relevance to the problem (i.e. Consider what you would need to take into account to make a decision from an ethical and legal perspective). 3. Discuss two options available, which are, in your opinion the most obvious courses of action based on the issues identified. You will need to take into account the patients needs and problems and assess the impact of your core beliefs (i.e. any personal biases or assumptions) throughout the case study analysis. 4. Discuss how you would manage this situation. Develop an argument/rationale for the best course of action to address this situation. please use the the four principles approach of biomedical ethics, the code of ethics for pharmacists and the code of conduct for pharmacists.
