Ethical dilemmas in family practice have increased in frequency and complexity as both the potential benefit and the potential harm of medical treatments have increased. All physicians must be aware of moral issues relating to medicine. Family physicians commonly face ethical problems concerning the patient with diminished autonomy; the right to refuse treatment; allocation of resources; informed consent; surrogate consent (for children, for the incompetent, and for those with diminished autonomy); and the appropriate level of aggressiveness in treatment.
随着医学治疗的潜在益处和潜在危害都有所增加,家庭医疗中的伦理困境在发生频率和复杂性方面也有所上升。所有医生都必须意识到与医学相关的道德问题。家庭医生通常会面临与自主能力减弱的患者、拒绝治疗的权利、资源分配、知情同意、替代同意(针对儿童、无行为能力者以及自主能力减弱者)以及治疗的适当积极程度等有关的伦理问题。
