This book presents realistic cancer-related clinical dilemmas and provides guidance on how to assess options and make ethical decisions.
The provided case studies explore how decisions are made in ethically, and sometimes morally challenging situations in practice. Approaches to care delivery focus on the perspective of the individual in terms of their practical, social, psychological, and emotional needs. Considerations are integrated with a range of solutions-focused perspectives to allow readers to discuss clinical dilemmas in a safe space whilst applying and expanding their professional knowledge.
An invaluable resource for any healthcare student, clinical supervisors, academic educators, and anybody working within the cancer setting.
