Sir Joseph Rotblat, who first championed the call for a moral code of conduct directed at scientists, premised his ideas upon the foundations of the Hippocratic Oath1. Pertaining to the ethical practice of medicine and taken by graduates of medical school, the oath was designed, in part, to recognise the duty that the doctor has to the patient; to safeguard the autonomy, freedom from discrimination and standard of healthcare that the patient receives.

This assignment is going to explore how biological, psychological and social factors of a person's life may impact upon their health status. This will be done by including a detailed patient profile of Jane, a 55 year old patient, who suffered a myocardial infarction (MI) and was nursed in an acute hospital setting. The altered physiology that occurred as a result of the MI will be looked at with consideration to psychosocial factors that may have contributed to the patient's illness.
