As such it is an authoritative and considered reference, written in an accessible, non jargon so as to be useful for anyone charged with looking after the elderly.  \u003cp\u003eThe book includes useful case examples so that it can be used by a range of health professionals and carers who need to know the law and ethics of looking after older people. The authors focus on practical issues such as helping older people stick to their treatment regimes, the sort of information they should be given to give valid consent, and their rights to confidentiality, as well as discussion about where they want to end their lives when it comes to that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eExecutive summary. \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Importance of communication and barriers to it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Ethical issues regarding consent and refusal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Legal issues regarding consent and refusal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Privacy and confidentiality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Consent in relation to use of restraint and other protective measures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Helping people make decisions in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Care at the end of life and preparing for a good death.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other branches of medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other branches of medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20branches%20of%20medicine%20%5BMM%5D%22\"\u003eMM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"BMJ Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516334600472,"sku":"9781405176279","price":27.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781405176279.jpg?v=1786682629","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-ethics-of-caring-for-older-people-paperback-softback-9781405176279","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
