  1. A patient requests a treatment that you believe is not appropriate for their presenting concern. What is the most ethical course of action?

    Answer: Decline and explain why, offering appropriate alternatives

    Ethical practice requires honest communication; you should decline inappropriate treatments and offer evidence-based alternatives.

  2. Which psychological screening tool is most commonly referenced when identifying patients with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) risk in aesthetic consultations?

    The COPS questionnaire is specifically designed to screen aesthetic patients for BDD risk before treatment.

  3. During a consultation, a patient discloses they are taking warfarin. What is the primary concern for facial aesthetic procedures?

    Answer: Prolonged bleeding and bruising

    Warfarin is an anticoagulant that increases bleeding time, significantly raising the risk of bruising and haematoma formation.

  4. What does 'off-label' use of a medical product mean in the context of facial aesthetics?

    Answer: Using a product outside its licensed indications

    Off-label use refers to applying a licensed product in a way not specified in its official approved indications.

  5. A patient presents for lip filler and appears intoxicated. What should the practitioner do?

  6. Which of the following best describes the principle of 'justice' in the context of facial aesthetics ethics?

    Answer: Ensuring fair, equitable treatment and access to care

    Justice in medical ethics refers to fairness and equitable distribution of benefits and burdens of care.
