AUTONOMY: respect for the clients right to be self-governing
can anyone shed some light for me? |
counselling? anything to do with...
Patient autonomy: The right of patients to make decisions about their medical care without their health care provider trying to influence the decision. Patient autonomy does allow for health care providers to educate the patient but does not allow the health care provider to make the decision for the patient.
Does that help?
Basically autonomy means 'making their own choice themselves'. Independent..
