The 51st Meeting of the NH/VT Ethics Committees
OVERVIEW
Decision-making capacity can be challenging to assess in patients with mental health diagnoses. Clinicians often struggle with the balance between a desire to respect autonomy and a duty to protect. In this conference, we will discuss challenges in decision-making capacity assessment involving adult and pediatric patients with mental health diagnoses (such as eating disorders). We will also discuss pragmatic management approaches, including invocation of a Ulysses clause.
LEARNING OUTCOME
At the conclusion of this learning activity, (at least 75% of) participants will be able to discuss current issues related to ethical dilemmas posed by patients with mental illness who are asked to make a health care related decision.
