Beschreibung
Focused on today's critical issues from an ethical standpoint, Health Care Ethics: Critical Issues for the 21st Century, Fifth Edition brings together the insights of a diverse panel of leading experts in the fields of bioethics, long-term care, and health administration, and more, to examine the key issues for individuals, organizations, and society. The early chapters of this thought-provoking book offer readers a solid understanding of healthcare ethics. They cover the fundamental principles and theories that underpin healthcare ethics. Later chapters shift the focus to the pressing issues of our time, such as autonomy, the patient's right to choose, health inequities, health inequality, COVID-19, and ethical decision-making. These chapters also introduce the ethical theories, their application, and the principles that guide them.
