| 4. | The only treatment alternative left for a patient diagnosed with advanced cancer is a rare, highly experimental bone marrow transfusion with a 10% success rate.

What does this decision by the insurance company reflect? | |
| A) | Unethical conduct | |
| B) | Maleficence | |
| C) | Paternalism | |
| D) | Utility | |
| Ans: | D | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The principle of utility states that what is best for the common good outweighs what is best for the individual. There is no indication of unethical or maleficence behavior on the part of the insurance company. Paternalism would be characterized by the insurance company making treatment decision without the patient having input. | ||
