About This Document
The case scenario involves an 83-year-old diabetic patient with respiratory distress and gangrene. The patient refused amputation, but his daughter insisted on surgery. The healthcare administrator faced an ethical dilemma in upholding the patient's autonomy while ensuring beneficence, non-malfeasance, and stewardship. Surrogate decision makers can make decisions on behalf of the patient when they lack competency. The healthcare administrator should have performed a thorough mental state assessment, checked the credibility of the surrogate, and involved a proxy surrogate in the decision.
