Abstract
Health care today involves complex decisions. How these decisions are made and by whom are the concerns of consumers, healthcare providers, ethicists, third-party payers, and the legal community. The authors explore the question of whether hospitalized clients participate in informed decision making and they use a case study to demonstrate application of Curtin's model for ethical decision making.Keywords
