Ethical Decision Making
 

An interdisciplinary team at a nursing home is meeting with the wife of Mr. Jordan, an 87-year-old Alzheimer’s patient. Mrs. Jordan is concerned that he is not being treated respectfully or with the appropriate care and concern.


I’d like to speak to the pharmacist to see if there are any different drug combinations we can try. There are also some clinical trials that Mr. Jordan may be able to qualify for.
