Ethical Dimensions in the Health Professions

Description

This 3rdEdition of this popular text helps the reader face ethical issues and dilemmas in a dramatically changing health care system. It provides a solid foundation for intelligent discussion of ethical topics, presenting the basic language, approaches, and analytic tools of professional ethics.
Thought provoking chapters sharpen critical thinking skills while recounting contemporary case scenarios. Discussions suggest practical approaches to commonly encountered clinical issues such as confidentiality, informed consent, information sharing, and end of life care.

Each chapter reinforces learning and critical thinking skills with Chapter Objectives, New Terms and Ideas lists, original cartoons, a complete set of references, chapter questions, and ample cross-referencing of terms and concepts appearing in other chapters.

Schematically presents prototypes of ethical problems and a six-step process for analysis.

Expanded emphasis on Western ethical thought and basic ethical theories.

A new chapter on organization ethics explores the current challenges of the individual/workplace interface.

Increased sensitivity is given to contemporary cultural changes including diversity and geneticization, cost-containment, health care sites, aging population, and technology.
