Ethics

Question 10 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

Why are there ethical issues surrounding end-of-life care?

Answer
A
because patients have the right to refuse end-of-life care
B
because patients do not have the right to make end-of-life decisions
C
because patients have the right to accept life support
D
because sometimes patients cannot make decisions for themselves

Explanation

End-of-life care raises ethical questions because patients may choose to refuse care or accept life support, and those choices can involve difficult judgments about treatment. Ethical concerns also arise when a patient cannot make decisions for themselves and others must decide what care best respects the patient’s wishes and interests. Choice B is incorrect because patients generally do have the right to make end-of-life decisions.
