The autonomy model is useful when the patient is competent to decide.This model emphasizes patient autonomy and choice as the highest values.The patient benefit model assists in decision making for the incompetent patient by using substituted judgment.The social justice model focuses more on broad social issues involving the entire institution rather than on a single patient issue.There is no DNAR (AND)determination model.
