Clinical dilemmas in dementia contexts arise not solely due to uncertainties in clinical facts, but also due to the ambiguous ethical and legal underpinnings that can lead to anxiety and confusion. To assist nurses, healthcare assistants, and other practitioners in navigating these challenging situations effectively, this practical book offers valuable guidance. Each chapter stands independently, allowing readers to delve into the content as needed. The chapters cover complex topics such as abuse, challenging behavior, forced care, treatment withdrawal, and include clinical case vignettes to illustrate real-world scenarios.
By providing a comprehensive exploration of these issues, this book aims to instill confidence in practitioners that they can make sound legal and ethical decisions, akin to their well-informed clinical judgments. It serves as a crucial resource for those working in dementia care, empowering them with the knowledge and tools necessary to provide compassionate and ethical care to individuals with dementia and their families.
