I would highly recommend this book as a great educational tool to any organization working with our senior population.
To support ethical decision making its important to provide our team members with the knowledge and skills to complete their duties and the book; Ethics Awareness in Senior Settings provides practical resources with step-by-step guidance to develop and/or support ethical decision-making models.
It was intriguing to read that the ethical situations that the author wrote have a relevant situational significance to many Health Care Providers. Like the author we need to break down the barriers and support ethical awareness and decision making in our facilities and the principle of “Beneficence” to be at the forefront.
Organizations will benefit from putting this Ethics Awareness Program in place.
