Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When advocating for a client at an ethics committee, it is important to support the client's autonomy, which means respecting the client's right to make decisions about their own healthcare. The other options of expecting confrontation, preparing for a power struggle, or stating personal feelings clearly are not productive approaches to advocacy and may create a hostile environment at the ethics committee.
