Discover people-centered decision-making for pharmacists in this clear and practical book.
Pharmacy ethics and decision-making are an important part of pharmaceutical care. Pharmacists are routinely faced with decisions that affect the immediate and long-term health of patients and must exercise professional judgment when the best choices are unclear.
Current guides to ethical decision-making in healthcare are generally written for physicians or nurses and overlook the distinct needs of pharmacy professionals in this vital area of practice.
People-Centered Pharmacy: Ethical Challenges in Everyday Practice addresses this neglect with a realistic discussion of common ethical dilemmas that pharmacists face. By providing a focus on common sense, this book outlines an approach to practical ethical reasoning that considers the interests of all involved, including the pharmacist. The result is a valuable resource for pharmacists and those studying the subject.
