Patients want, need and expect that their relatives will be able to visit them during inpatient admissions or accompany them during ambulatory visits. The sudden outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), or a similar contagious pathogen, will restrict the number of people entering the hospital. The ethical values that underlie visitor restrictions are discussed here.
患者希望、需要并期待他们的亲属能够在住院期间探望他们,或者在门诊就诊时陪伴他们。严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)或类似传染性病原体的突然爆发,将限制进入医院的人数。本文讨论了限制探视背后的伦理价值。
