Respecting Patient Choices

Respecting patient choices means honoring an individual's decisions about their healthcare, even if those choices differ from medical recommendations. It involves listening carefully, providing all necessary information, and supporting their right to make informed decisions about treatments, procedures, or lifestyle changes. This approach recognizes each person’s autonomy and values, ensuring they feel empowered and respected throughout their healthcare journey. Ultimately, respecting patient choices fosters trust, improves satisfaction, and upholds ethical standards in medical care.
