Applying Ethical Principles to Clinical Practice (EPUB)

by Dominic Glorioso

Applying Ethical Principles to Clinical Practice provides a concise overview of bioethics, drawing especially on principlism, for all those who encounter moral dilemmas as part of their professional responsibilities to their patients.
Including an introductory chapter each on the principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice, Glorioso then explores how these principles can apply in different clinical scenarios. The applied chapters look at end-of-life care, cancer care, intensive care, and the organization of health services. The book ends with chapters exploring how to establish healthcare ethics consultation services and develop your communication skills.
This guide is written in clear and accessible language and is designed for frontline healthcare professionals and their students.
