ISBN: 9780199974412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This handbook explores the topic of death and dying from the late twentieth to the early twenty-first centuries, with particular emphasis on the United States.

Respecting patients' values has been recognized as the essential moral component of clinical decision-making. Technology's promise has been seen to have a dark side: it prolongs the dying process. For the first...

ISBN: 9780810872486 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 686 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The US Supreme Court is an institution that operates almost totally behind closed doors.

The Erosion of Autonomy in Long-Term Care
ISBN: 9780195073942 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In few places in American society are adults so dependent on others as in nursing homes. Minimizing this dependency and promoting autonomy has become a major focus of policy and ethics in gerontology. Yet most of these discussions are divorced from the day-to-day reality of long-term care and are implicitly based on concepts of autonomy derived from acute medical care settings. Promoting autonomy in long-term care, however, is a complex task which requires close attention to everyday routines and a fundamental rethinking of the meaning of autonomy.
This timely work is based on an... In few places in American society are adults so dependent on others as in nursing homes. Minimizing this dependency and promoting autonomy has become ...
