| Annotation | Contributors to this volume discuss ethical issues in relation to clinical practice: confidentiality; informed consent; decisions on life-sustaining therapy; expenditure on health and social care; cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); mental capacity and best interests; advance directives; stroke management; driving assessment; dementia; achieving a good death; the use of restraints; and quality of life in healthcare decisions. An introductory chapter on the principles of medical ethics describes a "four cluster model" comprising autonomy, justice, beneficence and non-maleficence. (RH). |
