This is especially true when patients suffer from Alzheimer's disease or other disorders that impair their own decision-making abilities. When confronting dilemmas concerning privacy, informed consent, and patient autonomy, use of an ethical decision-making model is essential. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Bush not only presents this practical, 10-step model, but through a diverse collection of case studies, also demonstrates how it can be implemented across numerous therapeutic settings. Nursing, social work, counseling, and psychiatry are only four of the many settings discussed. In essence, the author offers a truly unique, interdisciplinary approach to ethical decision-making in geriatric mental health care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130666991856,"sku":"9780826103260","price":59.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826103260_p0.jpg?v=1763752297","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826103260","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
