Dementia, Law and Ethics: A Practical Guide for Nurses and Other Healthcare Professionals 2020

Clinical dilemmas in the context of dementia often arise not from doubts about the clinical facts, but because the ethical and legal basis is uncertain - which can cause anxiety and confusion. This practical book will help nurses, medical assistants and other practitioners. The chapters are all self-contained, allowing the reader to quickly delve into the book. Complex issues such as bullying, challenging behaviour, coercive care, discontinuing treatment are addressed and clinical case studies are included. This is essential reading to give clinicians the confidence that good legal and ethical decisions can be made in the same way as good clinical decisions.
