As Heparin has a very long history dated back in 1916, the price is only $2 per unit while the production cost of Angiomax takes nearly $40 per unit.

Some experiences of clients may be very traumatic and stressful, so many of them may not desire to reveal confidential information to the public.

The evidence I have chosen to prove this outcome is from a survey I took in PSY 40552: Counseling Theories and Dynamics, which I took in the spring of 2016, for outcome 5a. I have chosen this survey about, The Counselor: Person and Professional, because it has some answers that help to show some of the American Psychological Association ethical standards. When looking at the ethical standards it has five main principles: Beneficence and nonmaleficence, fidelity and responsibility, integrity, justice, and respect for people’s rights and dignity” (EasyBib, 2017).
