Ethical And Clinical Decision Making: When Facts
And Value Converge
This Institute For Innovative Nursing Practice’s Grand Rounds
will feature Margaret M. Mahon, PhD, RNC, NP and Associate Professor
at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
Description: The living and dying of several people
have shaped the way ethics is integrated into clinical decision
making. As much as we have been influenced by patients, families,
and other health care providers, we have also been influenced by
fears, misinformation, lawyers, judges, and the media. In this
presentation, three paradigm cases that have influenced how we
practice in the 21st century will be explored. A framework for
integrating ethics and clinical decision making will be described.
Factors distinguishing decision making with adult and pediatric
patients will also be discussed.
