Biomedical ethics : a guide to decision making / Robert T. Francoeur,...
Livre
Edited by John Wiley & sons - 1983
Biomedical ethics focuses on moral judgments applied to the delivery of health care. In this worktext, we have two goals: (1) improving your sensitivity to ethical issues in health care, and (2) developing your decision-making skills. Making decisions is never easy. The moral dilemmas outlined in this worktext, and those you encounter in your clinical experience, will never be easy to resolve. Solutions are seldom immediately obvious.
Two world views and two associated value systems. Three models of moral development. Identifying ethical principles. Identifying and weighting ethical rules. Decisions in triage situations. The social contract between patient and health care worker. Identifying and sorting alternative solutions. The operational decision technique. Costs and benefits of an alternatives balance sheet. The decision tree technique. The decision matrix technique. A technique for coping with the least desirable option. Ascertaining the effects of motivations on decisions. Examining the impact of modes of presentation. Consensus decision for public policies. The ultimate question: Who is a person, and why?. A synthesis of decision-making methods.
