Description: "Ethics for Health Care considers ethics in the context of routine health care. It follows a sequence that is familiar in health care education and practice: training, adopting a profession, becoming a team member in a health care setting, beginning to see patients, and working with patients as their treatment progresses. While the theory of health care ethics is a central feature of the discussion, the book moves beyond the traditional theory-oriented organisation of most ethics texts to a structure that is generated by practical, professional, and client needs."--BOOK JACKET. "Ethical issues are a feature of the everyday work of health professionals. This book is designed to equip health care students and health professionals with the skills and knowledge to deal with these concerns."--BOOK JACKET.
