This book provides a systematic approach to bioethical decision making that can help clarify issues in situations where ""right"" and ""wrong"" may not be clearly defined. This approach is based on the interaction of health professional and patient, focusing on the well-being and right to self-direction of both. Numerous case studies give the professional practice in bioethical decision making. Nearly 50 of them are analyzed in detail at the back of the book. Nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals will find this a valuable resource. New to this edition are: tips for educators, chapters on applications for administrators and researchers, advanced concepts in symphonology, and advanced directives.
