![Page 13: Home is where the heart is… the challenges of discharge planning with people who have dementia](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681355f550346895d9cc5b4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ethical dilemma
‘…(when) acting on one moral conviction means behaving contrary to another or when adhering to one value means abandoning another.’(Bluemenfield & Lowel 1987)
![Page 14: Home is where the heart is… the challenges of discharge planning with people who have dementia](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681355f550346895d9cc5b4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Autonomy
‘Individual choice or freedom to follow one’s own will’ (Beauchamp & Childress 1995)
![Page 15: Home is where the heart is… the challenges of discharge planning with people who have dementia](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681355f550346895d9cc5b4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Beneficence
‘Health care professionals ‘do good’ in their decisions regarding actions towards patients’(Beauchamp & Childress, 1994)
‘…entails not only preventing harm but also actively promoting the health and welfare of the patient’(Cummings & Cockerham, 1997)
![Page 16: Home is where the heart is… the challenges of discharge planning with people who have dementia](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681355f550346895d9cc5b4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Paternalism
‘…health care professionals assert their own risk-benefit analysis over that of the patient and families in the belief that they are protecting the best interests of the patient’(Cummings & Cockerham, 1997)
![Page 17: Home is where the heart is… the challenges of discharge planning with people who have dementia](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062720/5681355f550346895d9cc5b4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
