Question: 1 / 50

What moral obligations does a pharmacist or technician have if they refuse to participate in certain lawful activities?

Authenticity and secrecy

Publicity and reliability

Authenticity and publicity

A pharmacist or technician has the moral obligation to uphold authenticity and publicity if they refuse to participate in certain lawful activities. This means that they must be genuine in their beliefs and must not hide their refusal from the public eye. Option A of authenticity and secrecy is incorrect because they should not be secretive about their refusal as it could lead to misunderstandings. Option B of publicity and reliability is incorrect because although they should not shy away from making their refusal known to the public, reliability is not necessarily a moral obligation in this situation. Option D of secrecy and reliability is incorrect because secrecy is not a moral obligation in this case and reliability is not relevant. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate moral obligation for a pharmacist or technician to have in this scenario.

Secrecy and reliability
