Description
The reader friendly format of this text includes questions and exercises in every chapter, allowing readers to test their knowledge and
apply important concepts. An abundance of clinically relevant case examples, including many real cases on public record, teach readers
about ethics at work. Each chapter begins with a summary section, plus key terms. Boxes titled "Ethics in Focus" are scattered throughout
the text. Also, several flowcharts and forms can be photocopied for readers' use. Each chapter ends with a comprehensive annotated bibliography
and a section of cases. An appendix at the back of the book contains codes of ethics for many rehabilitation professionals, including
physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, prosthetists, orthotists, speech-language
pathologists, chiropractors, and rehabilitation nurses.
