520 _aClinical Ethics is the most popular clinically oriented guide to the complex field of medical ethics. It provides crystal-clear case-based coverage of ethical situations encountered in everyday medical practice. This unparalleled guide is famous for its four-topics method of approaching ethical problems (medical indications, patient preferences, quality of life, and contextual features)—an organizational process that helps you better understand the complexities involved in clinical ethics cases and find a resolution for each case. In each chapter, the authors discuss case examples and provide analysis, comments, and specific recommendations.
