Activity Description

Patient rights are a subset of human rights. Whereas the concept of human rights refers to minimum standards for the ways persons can expect to be treated by others, the concept of ethics refers to customary standards for the ways persons should treat others. As such, rights and ethics are usually flip sides of the same coin, and behind every ‘patient right’ is one or more ethical principle from which that right is derived. This activity discusses how the interprofessional team can ensure that ethical principles are followed and the patient's rights are assured.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of social workers.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Summarize the common ethical principles that apply to patient care.
  • Outline the history of ethical principles applied to patient care.
  • Review the meaning of the sanctity of human life.
  • Explain how the interprofessional team can work together to achieve ethical principles in caring for patients.
