Pharmacy ethical reasoning: a comparison of Australian pharmacists and interns

Conclusion Interns focussed on legislation and guidelines when presented with hypothetical ethical dilemmas. In contrast to this positivist approach, pharmacists reported using a social constructionist approach with peers as a reference. Pharmacists avoided ethical scenario options that required complex management. Interns reported more exposure to potential practice privacy breaches.
