18 Oct What ethical principles are at play within this scenario?
1. Access the websites below, read about, what it is and how it works.
• https://www.nano.gov/nanotech-101
• http://www.nano.gov/grandchallenges
• https://www.nano.gov/about-nanotechnology/applications-nanotechnology
• After reading and studying information about nanotechnology, outline a research study question that measures the impact of nanotechnology in healthcare information technology.
2. Case Study: A patient with diabetes is about to be stamped with a tattoo that will identify the patient on a molecular level: the tattoo contains tiny particles that are configured to detect biochemical shifts in metabolism to monitor blood glucose levels. This is part of nanotechnologies, nanomaterials, and nanomedicine, which may become a common treatment for diabetes. This is part of miniaturization of medicine. The patient has watched sci fi movies and is afraid of the technology. The physician explains the tattoo it is the best treatment, but the patient is still not comfortable about the sci-fi nature of the tattoo. After reading, answer the following questions.
1. How would you use the bioethical checklist recommended by Bennett and Naranja to address this situation? See
Bennett, M. G., & Naranja, R. J. (2013). Getting nano tattoos right – a checklist of legal and ethical hurdles for an emerging nanomedical technology. Semantic Scholar.
2. What ethical principles are at play within this scenario?
3. How might you educate the patient on what nanotechnology is and how it works to alleviate concerns?
4. What common treatments for smoking cessation and cardiac disease might you use to compare the tattoo treatment to and to explain how nanotechnology works?
Write a 5 page paper using APA 7th format to answer the questions. All journal articles must have DOI. Title page and reference page are not in the paper total.
