Summary:
"It is imperative that any health-care professional have knowledge of medical law, ethics, and bioethics so that clients are treated with understanding, sensitivity, and compassion. No matter what the professional's education, experience, or position, any client contact involves ethical and legal responsibility. It also is imperative that this knowledge be used to provide the best possible service for the provider and employer. Our goal is to provide the health-care professional with an adequate resource for the study of medical law, ethics, and bioethics"-- Provided by publisher.
