Part of the "What Do I Do Now?: Emergency Medicine" series, Legal
and Ethical Issues in Emergency Medicine uses a case-based approach
to cover common and important topics in the legal and ethical
dilemmas that surface in the practice of emergency medicine. Each
unique case draws upon the four well-established principles of
bioethics: beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, and
justice. Other ethical principles, such as honesty and personal
integrity, are also addressed. Chapters are rounded out by key
points to remember and selected references for further reading.
Legal and Ethical Issues in Emergency Medicine addresses a wide
range of topics including HIPPA and confidentiality, advance
directives, suicidal patients, refusal of care, expert witness
testimony, and more. This book is an engaging collection of
thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they
encounter difficult situations in the emergency department. The
volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests the reader's
ability to answer the question, "What do I do now?"
