BOF: 8
One of your patients
suffers from a cardiac arrhythmia that gives rise to syncope. He continues to
drive despite you having made all reasonable efforts to explain to him that this
is unsafe. Your response should be:
a) It
is the legal obligation of the patient to inform the authorities of his
disability; hence you are not obliged to take any further action
b) As
the patient has a right to confidentiality you may not take the matter any
further
c)
Inform the police
d) Inform
the next of kin or the driving authority
e) Inform the patient's solicitor
