This question is about medical ethics and patient confidentiality. The scenario involves a doctor who tested a man for HIV, with negative results. Three days later, the man's wife asks the doctor about her husband's test results. The question asks what the doctor should do in this situation.
According to medical ethics and patient confidentiality principles, a doctor cannot disclose a patient's medical information to anyone, including spouses, without the patient's consent. Patient confidentiality is a fundamental ethical obligation in healthcare.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E: "ไม่บอก เพราะเป็นความลับผู้ป่วย" (Don't tell, because it's patient confidentiality).

Let me first translate this question from Thai to English to ensure I understand it correctly:
"A man came to test for HIV/AIDS at the hospital because he was unsure if he had contracted the virus. The test results showed that this man did not have AIDS, and he went home. Three days later, his wife learned that her husband had come to the hospital for an AIDS test, so she secretly asked the doctor if her husband had AIDS. If you were this doctor, what would you do?"
Options: A: "Tell her, it doesn't cause any harm since he doesn't have AIDS anyway" B: "Tell her the truth" C: "Ask the wife to call and get consent from her husband first, then answer" D: "Tell her, but first call her husband to ask if he consents" E: "Don't tell her because it's the patient's confidential information"
This is a medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. Even though the test result is negative, medical test results are considered confidential patient information that should not be disclosed to third parties, including spouses, without the patient's consent.
The ethical stance in medicine is that patient confidentiality must be maintained unless:
In this case, none of these exceptions apply. The husband's HIV status, even if negative, is his private medical information. The doctor should not disclose this information to the wife without the husband's explicit consent.
Looking at the options:
The correct answer would be Option E, as it respects the principle of patient confidentiality. Medical practitioners are bound by both ethical principles and laws to keep patient information confidential. Even though the information might seem harmless (a negative HIV test), the principle of confidentiality applies to all medical information regardless of its nature.
This question is about medical ethics and patient confidentiality. In the scenario, a doctor has tested a man for HIV/AIDS (with negative results), and later the man's wife comes asking about her husband's test results.
Even though the test was negative, a physician cannot disclose any patient's medical information - including test results - to anyone, even a spouse, without the patient's explicit consent. This is a fundamental principle of medical ethics and patient confidentiality. The information belongs to the patient regardless of whether the results are positive or negative.
{"correct_answer_key":"e"}
This is a medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. A man came for HIV testing and tested negative. Three days later, his wife came to secretly ask the doctor about her husband's HIV status.
The key ethical principle here is patient confidentiality. Medical information is private and protected by doctor-patient privilege. Even though the test result was negative (not harmful news), and even though the person asking is the spouse, the doctor cannot disclose any patient information without the patient's explicit consent. This is a fundamental principle of medical ethics and is legally protected in most healthcare systems.
The correct approach is to maintain patient confidentiality and not disclose any information, as this would violate the trust between doctor and patient and professional ethical standards.
{"correct_answer_key":"e"}
This is a medical ethics question in Thai. Let me translate and understand it:
The question describes a scenario where:
The options are: a) Tell her, it won't cause any harm since he doesn't have it anyway b) Tell her the truth c) Have the wife call to ask for consent from her husband first, then answer d) Will tell but request to call her husband first to ask if he consents e) Won't tell because it's patient confidentiality
This is a clear medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. Even though the test result is negative, patient confidentiality is a fundamental principle in medical ethics. The doctor cannot disclose any patient information, including test results (whether positive or negative), without the patient's explicit consent.
Options a, b are clearly wrong as they violate patient confidentiality. Options c and d involve getting consent, which is better, but option c puts the burden on the wife to get consent, while option d has the doctor proactively seeking consent. Option e directly states the principle - not disclosing due to patient confidentiality.
The most ethically correct answer is e) - the doctor should not disclose any information about the patient's medical records or tests without the patient's consent, regardless of whether the results are positive or negative. Patient confidentiality is absolute and fundamental to the doctor-patient relationship.
This is a medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. A man had an HIV test (which came back negative), and his wife later asks the doctor about the results without her husband's knowledge.
The fundamental principle here is patient confidentiality - medical information cannot be shared with anyone, including spouses, without the patient's explicit consent. This applies regardless of whether the test results are positive or negative. The doctor must protect the patient's privacy and maintain the trust inherent in the doctor-patient relationship. Even though the result is negative and seemingly "harmless" to share, breaching confidentiality would be unethical and likely illegal.

This is a medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. The scenario involves a man who tested negative for HIV/AIDS, and his wife later comes to ask the doctor about her husband's test results without his knowledge.
The key ethical principle here is patient confidentiality. Medical information is private and protected by law and medical ethics. Even though the test result is negative (not harmful news), and even though it's the patient's spouse asking, the doctor cannot disclose any medical information without the patient's explicit consent.

This is a medical ethics question in Thai. Let me translate and understand it:
"A man came to the hospital to test for AIDS because he wasn't sure if he had been infected or not. The test results showed that this man did not have AIDS and he returned home. Three days later, his wife learned that her husband had come to test for AIDS at the hospital, so she came to secretly ask the doctor whether her husband had AIDS or not. If you were this doctor, what would you do?"
Options: a) "Just tell her, it won't cause any harm since he doesn't have anything anyway" b) "Tell her the truth" c) "Have the wife call to ask for consent from her husband first, then answer" d) "Will tell but ask to call her husband first to see if he consents or not" e) "Won't tell because it's patient confidentiality"
This is a classic medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. Even though the test result is negative (the patient doesn't have AIDS), the doctor still has an obligation to maintain patient confidentiality. The patient's medical information, including test results whether positive or negative, is protected information that cannot be disclosed to anyone without the patient's consent - not even to family members like a spouse.
The correct answer should be E - maintaining patient confidentiality is a fundamental principle in medical ethics, regardless of whether the test results are positive or negative.
This question presents an ethical dilemma about patient confidentiality in healthcare. A man tested negative for AIDS, and his wife later asks the doctor about his test results without his knowledge.
Medical ethics requires doctors to maintain patient confidentiality regardless of test results (positive or negative). Patient information cannot be disclosed to anyone, including spouses, without the patient's explicit consent. This principle protects patient autonomy and trust in the doctor-patient relationship. Even though the result is negative, revealing it would still violate confidentiality and could damage the trust between the patient and healthcare provider.

This is a medical ethics question in Thai. Let me translate and understand it:
"A man came to test for AIDS at the hospital because he wasn't sure if he had been infected or not. The test results showed that this man does not have AIDS and he went home. Three days later, his wife found out that her husband came to test for AIDS at the hospital, so she came to secretly ask the doctor whether her husband has AIDS or not. If you were this doctor, what would you do:"
a) "Answer her, it won't cause any harm, he doesn't have anything anyway" b) "Answer truthfully" c) "Have the wife call to ask for consent from her husband first, then answer" d) "Will tell by calling to ask her husband first whether he consents or not" e) "Don't tell, because it's patient confidentiality"
This is clearly a medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. Even though the test result was negative (the man doesn't have AIDS), the fundamental principle of medical confidentiality still applies. The doctor should not disclose any medical information about a patient to anyone, including family members, without the patient's explicit consent.
The fact that the result is "good news" (negative) doesn't change the ethical obligation to maintain confidentiality. Patient confidentiality is a fundamental principle in medical practice that protects the patient's privacy and maintains trust in the doctor-patient relationship.
Options a and b are clearly wrong as they violate patient confidentiality. Options c and d both involve getting the patient's consent first, which is the correct approach. Option e is also correct in principle - not disclosing because it's patient confidentiality.
However, looking more carefully:
The most appropriate response would be either d or e. Option d shows a proactive approach where the doctor takes responsibility to get consent, while option e maintains strict confidentiality.
Medical confidentiality is a critical ethical standard that protects patient privacy. The doctor must prioritize the patient's right to control their medical information, regardless of the nature of the test results. Seeking patient consent before sharing any medical details is the most responsible and ethical approach to handling such a sensitive situation.
This is a medical ethics question about patient confidentiality. Even though the test result was negative (no AIDS), the doctor still has an ethical and legal obligation to maintain patient confidentiality.

This question tests ethical principles in medical practice, particularly confidentiality. As a doctor, you must protect patient privacy unless there's a compelling reason to disclose information. Here's the analysis:
Best Answer: Option D balances ethical responsibility by seeking the patient’s consent while addressing the wife’s inquiry.
{"correct_answer_key":"d"}
This question revolves around medical ethics and patient confidentiality. The scenario involves a man who tested negative for HIV, but his wife is asking the doctor about his results without his knowledge or consent.
d) The doctor should call the husband to confirm consent before disclosing any information.
{"correct_answer_key":"d"}
As a doctor, the patient's medical information (including test results) is confidential and protected by patient-doctor confidentiality. The wife is asking for her husband's private health information without his explicit consent. The correct course of action is to not disclose this information without the patient's permission, as it would violate ethical and legal principles of medical privacy.
{"correct_answer_key": "e"}
The question involves a medical ethics scenario where a doctor must handle a request from a wife about her husband's AIDS test result. Key principles include:
The correct choice is e because it prioritizes patient privacy and legal obligations.
{"correct_answer_key": "e"}
First, the question is in Thai. Let me translate it to understand.
The question: "A man came to the hospital to get tested for AIDS because he wasn't sure if he had been infected. The test results showed that the man did not have AIDS, and he went home. Three days later, his wife found out that her husband had been tested for AIDS at the hospital, so she secretly asked the doctor if her husband had AIDS or not. If you were this doctor, what would you do?"
The options are:
a) "Answering wouldn't harm anything; he wasn't infected anyway."
b) "Answer truthfully."
c) "Have the wife call to ask for consent from the husband first, then answer."
d) "Tell her by calling to ask the husband first if he consents or not."
e) "Not tell, because it's patient confidentiality."
I need to recall medical ethics, specifically patient confidentiality. Patient confidentiality is a fundamental principle in medicine. Doctors are not allowed to disclose any patient information without the patient's consent, even to family members, unless there's a risk to others or specific legal exceptions.
In this case, the man tested negative for AIDS, so there's no immediate risk to the wife or others that might override confidentiality. The wife is asking secretly, which suggests the husband might not have authorized sharing this information.
Option a: "Answering wouldn't harm anything; he wasn't infected anyway." But this ignores confidentiality. Even if the result is negative, disclosing without consent is unethical.
Option b: "Answer truthfully." Again, this breaches confidentiality without consent.
Option c: "Have the wife call to ask for consent from the husband first, then answer." This involves getting consent, which is good, but it's putting the burden on the wife to ask, which might not be appropriate. The doctor should not disclose without direct consent from the patient.
Option d: "Tell her by calling to ask the husband first if he consents or not." This seems better because the doctor is taking the initiative to ask the husband for consent before disclosing.
Option e: "Not tell, because it's patient confidentiality." This is straightforward adherence to confidentiality rules.
In medical ethics, the default is to not disclose any information without the patient's explicit consent. Even if the result is negative, the fact that he was tested is private information.
The Hippocratic Oath and laws like HIPAA in the US (or similar in other countries) protect patient privacy. Doctors must keep all patient information confidential unless the patient authorizes disclosure.
Option d involves asking the husband for consent, which respects his autonomy. But technically, the doctor shouldn't even confirm or deny that the patient was tested or discuss any details without consent.
Option e is the strictest and most ethical choice: not to tell, citing patient confidentiality.
Option c and d both involve seeking consent, but d is more direct: the doctor calls the husband to ask. However, without prior consent, the doctor shouldn't disclose.
In practice, if a family member asks, the doctor should politely decline to provide information and suggest that the family member discuss it with the patient directly.
The best answer is likely e: not to tell, because it's patient confidentiality.
But let's see the options again. Option d says: "จะบอกโดยขอโทรไปถามสามีของเธอก่อนว่ายินยอมหรือไม่" which means "will tell by calling to ask her husband first if he consents or not."
This implies that the doctor would disclose only if consent is given, which is ethical. But the initial action should be not to disclose anything without consent. So, when the wife asks, the doctor should not confirm or deny anything until consent is obtained.
However, in this scenario, the wife already knows that the husband was tested, so simply not telling might not address that she knows about the test. But the doctor should still not provide the results without consent.
Option e is "ไม่บอก เพราะเป็นความลับผู้ป่วย" which is "not tell, because it's patient confidentiality." This seems correct.
Option d could be seen as a way to handle it by seeking consent, but it might be premature to say "will tell" before consent is given. The phrasing "จะบอกโดย..." suggests that the doctor intends to tell after asking, but ethically, the doctor should only tell if consent is given.
But in strict terms, the doctor should not disclose without consent, and the first response should be to protect confidentiality.
I think e is the most appropriate because it directly upholds confidentiality without any disclosure.
In many medical ethics guidelines, disclosing without consent is a violation, even if the information seems harmless.
So, the correct answer should be e.
Now, I need to provide a brief explanation and then respond in JSON with the "correct_answer_key".
Explanation: Patient confidentiality is paramount in medical ethics. The doctor must not disclose any patient information, including test results, without the patient's explicit consent, even to family members. Since the wife is asking without the husband's knowledge, the ethical response is to not disclose and cite patient confidentiality.
Thus, the correct answer is e.
Patient confidentiality is a fundamental principle in medical ethics. Doctors are obligated to protect patient information and cannot disclose any details, including test results, without the patient's explicit consent. Even though the test result is negative and the wife is inquiring, sharing this information without consent would violate the patient's privacy rights. The appropriate action is to decline to provide the information and explain that it is confidential.

First, the user has provided another multiple-choice question in JSON format. It's in Thai, but I need to understand it to respond appropriately.
Let me translate the question to English to make sure I get it right:
"ชายคนหนึ่งมาตรวจโรคเอดส์กับทางโรงพยาบาล เนื่องจากไม่แน่ใจว่าตนได้รับเชื้อหรือไม่ ผลตรวจปรากฏว่า ชายผู้นี้ไม่ได้เป็นโรคเอดส์ และกลับบ้านไป สามวันต่อมา ภรรยาทราบข่าวว่าสามีมาตรวจโรคเอดส์กับทางโรงพยาบาล จึงมาแอบถามกับหมอว่าสามีตนเองเป็นโรคเอดส์หรือเปล่า หากท่านเป็นแพทย์รายนี้ ท่านจะทำอย่างไร"
Translation: "A man comes to the hospital to get tested for AIDS because he's not sure if he's infected. The test results show that he does not have AIDS, and he goes home. Three days later, his wife finds out that her husband came to get tested for AIDS at the hospital, so she secretly asks the doctor if her husband has AIDS. If you were this doctor, what would you do?"
Options:
a: "ตอบไปก็ไม่ได้เสียหายอะไร ไม่ได้เป็นอะไรอยู่แล้ว" - "It doesn't hurt to answer, he's not sick anyway."
b: "ตอบไปตามความจริง" - "Answer truthfully."
c: "ให้ภรรยาโทรถามความยินยอมจากสามีก่อน จึงค่อยตอบ" - "Have the wife call to ask for consent from her husband first, then answer."
d: "จะบอกโดยขอโทรไปถามสามีของเธอก่อนว่ายินยอมหรือไม่" - "I will tell her after calling to ask her husband if he consents or not."
e: "ไม่บอก เพราะเป็นความลับผู้ป่วย" - "Not tell, because it's patient confidentiality."
This is an ethical question about patient confidentiality. In medical ethics, patient information is confidential and cannot be disclosed without the patient's consent.
The correct approach should be to uphold patient confidentiality. So, options c, d, and e seem related to that, but let's evaluate:
a: Disclosing information casually, which is unethical.
b: Answering truthfully directly, which breaches confidentiality.
c: Asking the wife to get consent first, then answer. This involves the wife getting consent, but it's not the doctor directly handling it.
d: The doctor would call the husband to ask for consent before telling the wife.
e: Not telling because of patient confidentiality. This seems the most straightforward and correct.
In standard medical practice, doctors should not disclose information without explicit consent. Option e directly states not to tell due to confidentiality.
Option d is also about getting consent, which might be acceptable, but the primary rule is to protect confidentiality unless consent is given.
I need to recall: HIPAA in the US, or general medical ethics, emphasize that protected health information cannot be shared without permission.
The most accurate answer is e: "ไม่บอก เพราะเป็นความลับผู้ป่วย" which means "Not tell, because it's patient confidentiality."
My response should follow the format: Provide a brief explanation, then respond in JSON with the "correct_answer_key".

First, the user is providing another multiple-choice question in JSON format. I need to follow the same pattern as before: provide a brief explanation, then respond in JSON with the "correct_answer_key".
The question is in Thai, but I can understand it. Let me translate it to English to make sure I get it right:
"A man comes to the hospital for an AIDS test because he's not sure if he's infected. The test results show that he does not have AIDS, and he goes home. Three days later, his wife finds out that he went for the test and secretly asks the doctor if her husband has AIDS. If you were this doctor, what would you do?"
Options:
a: "It's okay to tell her, it's not like he has it anyway."
b: "Tell her the truth."
c: "Tell the wife to call and ask for permission from her husband first, then answer."
d: "Tell her that you'll call her husband first to ask if he consents."
e: "Don't tell, because it's patient confidentiality."
This is about medical ethics, specifically patient confidentiality. In most medical ethics standards, like HIPAA in the US or general principles worldwide, patient information is confidential and cannot be disclosed without the patient's consent.
The correct answer should be something that upholds patient confidentiality.
Let me evaluate the options:
a: This violates confidentiality, even if the result is negative.
b: Directly violates confidentiality.
c: This suggests asking the husband for permission first, which is a way to handle it ethically.
d: Similar to c, the doctor would contact the husband to get consent before sharing.
e: This outright refuses to share, citing patient confidentiality, which is also correct.
Both c, d, and e seem ethical. But I need to pick the most appropriate one.
In medical ethics, you shouldn't disclose any information without consent. Options c and d involve getting consent first, which is proper. Option e is to not tell at all, which is also safe.
However, the question is what the doctor should do. The standard practice is to maintain confidentiality unless consent is given.
Let me think about the best answer:
e: "Not tell, because it's patient confidentiality." This is straightforward and correct.
c and d: These involve facilitating consent, which might be acceptable, but the doctor shouldn't proactively disclose or even confirm testing without consent.
In some cases, doctors might guide the patient or family to get consent, but ultimately, they shouldn't reveal information.
Upon closer look, the most ethically sound is e, as it directly adheres to confidentiality without any gray area.
But let's check if there's a more precise one. In the options, c and d are about getting permission first before telling, which aligns with ethical guidelines.
Perhaps c or d is better because it allows for the information to be shared if consented.
The question is multiple choice, and I need to select one.
In my previous response, I have to provide the correct answer key based on standard knowledge.
Assuming this is from a Thai context, but medical ethics are universal.
I believe the correct answer is e, as patient confidentiality is paramount.
In the options, e says: "ไม่บอก เพราะเป็นความลับผู้ป่วย" which means "Don't tell, because it's patient confidentiality."
That seems spot on.
Option c: "ให้ภรรยาโทรถามความยินยอมจากสามีก่อน จึงค่อยตอบ" – "Have the wife call to ask for permission from her husband first, then answer."
This might imply the doctor is willing to answer after permission, which is correct, but the doctor shouldn't promise to answer; they should say they need consent.
Option d: "จะบอกโดยขอโทรไปถามสามีของเธอก่อนว่ายินยอมหรือไม่" – "I will tell by first calling her husband to ask if he consents."
This is the doctor taking initiative to contact the husband, which might be appropriate.
In ethics, the doctor could suggest that the wife discusses it with her husband, but not necessarily contact him themselves.
This is getting nuanced. For the purpose of this exercise, I think e is the safest and most direct correct answer.
In my initial thought, I need to provide a brief explanation and then the JSON response.
So, for my response:
First, brief explanation: Explain why the chosen answer is correct.
Then, JSON with {"correct_answer_key": "e"}
I'll go with e.
This question involves medical ethics and patient confidentiality. As a doctor, you are bound by ethical and legal standards (such as HIPAA or similar principles) to protect patient information, including test results, without the patient's explicit consent. Disclosing the information could violate privacy laws, even if the result is negative. Option E upholds this principle by refusing to share any details, making it the most appropriate choice. Options A, B, C, and D either directly breach confidentiality or involve steps that could lead to improper disclosure.

In this scenario, the question revolves around the ethical and professional responsibilities of a physician regarding patient confidentiality. The correct approach, considering medical ethics, is to respect the patient's privacy and confidentiality.
Here is the correct answer in JSON format:
{
"correct_answer_key": "e"
}
Explanation: Medical professionals are bound by strict ethical guidelines to maintain patient confidentiality. Sharing any information about a patient's health status without their consent is a serious breach of trust and professional ethics. Therefore, the correct answer is "e" because it emphasizes the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality.
The question involves a scenario where a man has tested negative for HIV and his wife, without his knowledge, seeks to know the result from the doctor. The ethical principle of patient confidentiality is crucial here. Medical professionals are bound by laws and ethical guidelines to maintain patient confidentiality, meaning they cannot disclose a patient's medical information without their explicit consent, even to close relatives.
Given this, the correct approach for the doctor would be to maintain the confidentiality of the patient's information. This means not disclosing the test results to the wife without the husband's consent, as it is his right to control who has access to his medical information.
Thus, the correct answer is to not disclose the information, adhering to the principle of patient confidentiality.

In medical practice, a patient’s test results are confidential. Even if the result is negative, the doctor must not disclose the information to anyone—including a spouse—without the patient’s explicit consent. Therefore, the appropriate step is to contact the patient directly (in this case, the husband) and obtain his permission before discussing his results with anyone else. Option D reflects this correct and ethical approach.

The scenario involves a doctor-patient confidentiality dilemma. Even though the test result is negative, the husband's medical information is private and protected by ethical and legal standards. Disclosing the result to the wife without the husband's explicit consent violates confidentiality. The doctor must prioritize the patient's right to privacy, regardless of the outcome. While options like c suggest a conditional approach, the strictest adherence to confidentiality requires the doctor to refuse disclosure entirely, as in e.
{"correct_answer_key":"e"}
The doctor is bound by patient confidentiality and cannot disclose medical information without the patient's consent. Even though the husband tested negative, the wife's request to know his status requires the husband's explicit permission. The doctor must prioritize the patient's privacy unless there is a legal obligation to disclose (e.g., public health risk). Since the husband is not infected, there is no public health threat, so the doctor should refuse to share the information without consent.

Okay, let's tackle this question. It's about medical ethics, specifically patient confidentiality. The scenario is a man who got tested for HIV at the hospital. He didn't test positive and went home. His wife found out he was tested and came to ask the doctor if he has AIDS. The question is what the doctor should do.
First, I need to recall the principles of medical ethics, especially regarding patient confidentiality. In many places, patient information is protected, and doctors aren't allowed to disclose it without the patient's consent. Even if the test result is negative, the fact that he was tested is part of his medical record.
Looking at the options:
a) Just tell her because he's not sick. But even if the result is negative, the doctor can't just share the information without the patient's permission. Breaking confidentiality is an issue here.
b) Answer truthfully. That would mean telling her the result, but again, without the patient's consent, this might be a breach.
c) Have the wife call the husband to get permission first. This seems better because it involves getting consent. But maybe the doctor should contact the husband directly instead of the wife calling?
d) Tell her after calling the husband to ask for consent. This seems more appropriate because the doctor is taking the step to verify if the husband wants to share the information. That way, the husband's right to privacy is respected.
e) Don't tell because it's the patient's secret. This is strict confidentiality, but maybe the doctor can inform the wife if the husband consents. However, the wife isn't the patient here, so unless the husband allows it, the doctor can't share.
The key points are patient autonomy and confidentiality. The husband has the right to decide who knows his health info. The doctor can't disclose without his consent unless there's a legal exception, like if the patient poses a danger to others. But HIV isn't like that, and since the result is negative, there's no danger. So the doctor must not disclose without consent.
Option d says the doctor will inform by first calling the husband to ask for permission. That way, they get consent directly from the patient. Option c has the wife calling the husband, which might not be the best because the doctor should handle the consent process. So d is better because the doctor is the one contacting the patient to get permission, ensuring proper procedure.
Therefore, the correct answer should be d or e. Wait, e says not to tell because it's a secret. But maybe the doctor can tell if the patient consents. Since the question is asking what the doctor should do when the wife asks, the correct approach is to not disclose without the patient's consent. So the doctor can't tell the wife unless the husband says it's okay. So the options are between d and e.
Option d is about contacting the husband first to get consent. That's the right approach. Option e is refusing to tell because it's confidential, which is also correct in a way, but maybe the doctor can inform if the patient allows. Since the question is about what the doctor should do when the wife asks, the proper step is to seek the husband's consent before disclosing. So the answer is d. Wait, but in some cases, even if the result is negative, the doctor can't share without consent. So maybe e is correct? Hmm.
Wait, the options:
e is "ไม่บอก เพราะเป็นความลับผู้ป่วย" which translates to "Don't tell because it's the patient's secret."
d is "จะบอกโดยขอโทรไปถามสามีของเธอก่อนว่ายินยอมหรือไม่" which is "Will inform by first calling the husband to ask for consent."
So the correct approach is to not disclose without consent. The doctor can't just tell the wife, so the answer is either d or e.
But in medical ethics, the doctor should not disclose without consent. So if the husband hasn't given consent, the doctor can't tell. So the answer would be e. But maybe the doctor can inform the wife if the husband is contacted and gives consent. So the doctor should first contact the husband to get permission. So the correct answer is d.
Alternatively, maybe the doctor can't even tell the wife that the husband was tested without his consent. Wait, the question says the wife already knows he went for the test. So she knows he was tested. The doctor might be able to confirm the result only if the husband allows.
Therefore, the correct answer is d: the doctor should first contact the husband to get his consent before answering the wife. So the answer is d.
Alternatively, maybe the answer is e, because even if the wife asks, the doctor can't disclose without the patient's permission. So the doctor must refuse to tell, hence e.
Hmm, this is a bit tricky. In some guidelines, unless the patient has given consent, the doctor can't share the information. So the doctor should not disclose, so e is correct. But option d is about getting consent first.
The question is asking what the doctor should do when the wife asks. The proper procedure is to not disclose without the patient's consent. So the doctor should inform the wife that they can't disclose without the husband's permission. But the options don't have that.
Looking at the options again:
a) Just tell her because he's not sick. No, that's a breach.
b) Answer truthfully. Same as a.
c) Have the wife call the husband for permission. The doctor should be the one to contact the husband, not the wife.
d) The doctor will inform by first calling the husband to ask for consent. This is correct because the doctor is taking steps to get consent.
e) Don't tell because it's confidential. This is also correct, but maybe the doctor can inform if consent is obtained. Since the question is about what the doctor should do when asked, the best answer is d, because it follows the proper procedure of seeking consent before disclosure.
Therefore, the correct answer is d.

Alright! Let's tackle this question. The scenario involves a man who gets tested for HIV at a hospital and the result is negative. Three days later, his wife comes to ask the doctor about her husband's HIV status. The question is what the doctor should do in this situation.
First, I need to consider medical ethics, particularly patient confidentiality. In many countries, including Thailand, there are strict laws protecting patient information. HIV status is highly sensitive and falls under this protection.
Option a suggests that revealing the information wouldn't cause any harm since the test was negative. However, even if the result is negative, discussing someone's medical information without their consent violates their privacy.
Option b is to tell the truth, but again, without the patient's consent, this isn't appropriate. It's important to protect the patient's right to privacy regardless of the outcome.
Option c proposes having the wife call to ask for the husband's consent before answering. This seems like a reasonable approach because it respects the patient's autonomy while trying to accommodate the wife's concern.
Option d involves the doctor calling the husband to ask for permission. This is also a good method as it directly involves the patient in the decision-making process regarding his own information.
Option e is to refuse to tell her because it's confidential. This upholds patient confidentiality but might leave the wife worried and without any guidance.
Considering these options, both c and d respect the patient's privacy by seeking his consent. However, option e is also correct because it outright protects the patient's information without involving others, which might be necessary if the patient hasn't given prior consent to share his information.
In Thai medical ethics, patient confidentiality is a top priority. Therefore, the most appropriate action is not to disclose the information without the patient's explicit consent. This makes option e the correct answer.
