Popis: |
Making a decision about whether an older adult is safe to continue living independently is a common yet difficult decision for clinicians as well as caregivers. Trying to determine whether or not the patient has capacity to make certain decisions is also challenging. This case illustrates the importance of thinking about decision-making capacity as a continuum and provides some useful questions to ask and principles to follow when trying to determine if patients have capacity. |
