Question

scenario: a pmhnp is approached by a pharmaceutical company to promote a new drug. what ethical concern might this raise?

beneficence

justice

confidentiality

conflict of interest

Explanation:

A PMHNP (Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner) being approached by a pharmaceutical company to promote a new drug can raise a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when a professional's personal interests (such as financial gain from promoting the drug) could potentially interfere with their professional judgment and duty to act in the best interest of their patients. Beneficence refers to doing good, justice to fairness in distribution of resources, and confidentiality to protecting patient information, none of which directly relate to this scenario as much as conflict of interest.

Answer:

D. Conflict of interest
