| Resumen: |
Este libro de casos proporciona un conjunto de casos que revelan la complejidad actual de la toma de decisiones médicas, el razonamiento ético y la comunicación al final de la vida para los pacientes hospitalizados y quienes los cuidan. Las cuestiones relativas al final de la vida son una parte controvertida de la práctica médica y de la vida cotidiana. El análisis de estos casos ilumina los desafÃos prácticos y filosóficos que presentan los problemas morales que surgen en la atención contemporánea al final de la vida. Cada caso involucró a personas reales, con diferentes objetivos y limitaciones, que intentaron tomar las mejores decisiones posibles en condiciones exigentes. Aunque no hubo soluciones fáciles, ni que satisficieran a todas las partes interesadas, hay lecciones importantes que aprender sobre las formas en que la atención al final de la vida puede seguir mejorando. Este libro de casos avanzado es una lectura obligada para estudiantes de medicina y enfermerÃa, estudiantes de profesiones afines a la salud, académicos de comunicación sanitaria, especialistas en bioética, quienes estudian hospitales y administración pública, asà como para médicos y educadores en ejercicio. . |

| Summary : |
This casebook provides a set of cases that reveal the current complexity of medical decision-making, ethical reasoning, and communication at the end of life for hospitalized patients and those who care for and about them. End-of-life issues are a controversial part of medical practice and of everyday life. Working through these cases illuminates both the practical and philosophical challenges presented by the moral problems that surface in contemporary end-of-life care. Each case involved real people, with varying goals and constraints,who tried to make the best decisions possible under demanding conditions. Though there were no easy solutions, nor ones that satisfied all stakeholders, there are important lessons to be learned about the ways end-of-life care can continue to improve. This advanced casebook is a must-read for medical and nursing students, students in the allied health professions, health communication scholars, bioethicists, those studying hospital and public administration, as well as for practicing physicians and educators. . |
