I have a question regarding to CODE of ETHICS for the pharmacy students. I am doing my research paper on code of ethics. I need someone in here to explain it for me please.

1. VIII.A pharmacist seeks justice in the distribution of health resources.

I don't understand this code....can you guys give me some examples for it please.

2. II.A pharmacist promotes the good of every patient in a caring, compassionate, and confidential manner.

( For this one, i have to talk about pharmacist can't harm (nonmaleficence)..i don't know what examples to give )


Thank you !!

We had to learn the AMA code of ethics, because the pharmacist one was too short and too obscure. This leaves it open to interpretation. So, basically, we were told to read it once then we forgot about it and moved on to the AMA code. The AMA code is located online and you can view it for free. You may get some ideas from it.
