We describe an algorithm to aid clinicians in making ethical decisions regarding interventions. Logically sequenced questions about competency, advance directives, treatment benefit, and patient and family preferences guide the decision maker to nine specific scenarios. Each scenario includes guidelines for action based on legal and ethical consensus.
我们描述了一种算法,以帮助临床医生在做出关于干预措施的伦理决策时提供指导。关于能力、预先指示、治疗益处以及患者和家属偏好的逻辑顺序问题,引导决策者考虑九种具体情况。每种情况都包括基于法律和伦理共识的行动指南。
