Product details

Product Description

Nursing Ethics

"A welcome statement in the painful area of life and death."

Product Description

This second edition of the book has been updated to include information about the Human Rights Act.
This book was the result of a wide ranging consultative exercise by the BMA which revealed the need among all health professionals for guidance on withholding life–prolonging medical treatment, including artificial nutrition, and hydration, in adults and children. Written by the BMA Medical Ethics Committee in consultation with leading doctors, lawyers, and medical ethicists, it provides considered and comprehensive guidance on this complex subject.

First Sentence
Treatment which achieves its physiological aim may fail to provide a net benefit to the patient because it is unable to achieve a level of recovery which justifies the corresponding burdens of the treatment. Read the first page

Palliative care perspective 6 Jun 2011
By Wendy Muircroft - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
This book represents a seminal text on the ethical and legal ramifications on withholding and withdrawing life-prolonging treatment within UK-style medical and legal practices. The second edition of the text incorporates relevant changes in practice in light the Human Rights Act, and implications of withdrawing treatment in the context of medical futility in all types of patients. I would recommend this text for all professionals involved in end of life care.
