QUESTION 4
Read the following scenario and identify which ethical principle is most clearly violated:
Jolene works as a correctional officer at a prison. She hears about a new study being conducted where the inmates will have the opportunity to participate in a research study in return for a small amount of money being put into their commissary account for purchasing items. The prisoners will not face any consequences or harassment if they choose not to participate. The study will help researchers test a new antidepressant that is expected to become available to the general public next year, assuming the study goes well. There are no major risks associated with the drug. However, the prisoners will not have access to the treatment once the study is over. Which ethical principle is being most clearly violated as a result of the inmates’ eventual lack of access to the treatment?
Respecting people’s rights and dignity
Weighing risks against benefits
Acting responsibly and with integrity
Seeking justice
QUESTION 5
Read the following scenario and identify which ethical principle is most clearly violated:
Dr. Garfield is conducting a study on the efficacy of a new drug to treat brain cancer. The study will require testing responses in 500 laboratory rats. At the end of the study, the rats will be euthanized so that their brains can be examined. However, this drug has actually already been found to be highly effective for treating brain cancer in many very similar studies. It is unclear what Dr. Garfield’s study will add to scientists’ understanding of the drug. Which ethical principle is being most clearly violated due to the expected requirements and conclusions of the study?
Respecting people’s rights and dignity
Weighing risks against benefits
Seeking justice
Acting responsibly and with integrity
QUESTION 6

Dr. Driver is collecting data in an online study where participants fill out a survey about their preferences for different types of food.
