The sliding scale approach to decisional capacity holds that
(select the best answer):
Select one:
a.
Patients with diminished decisional capacity may be trusted to
make treatment decisions, as long as the physician views the
decision as being in the patient's best interest, on a "sliding
scale" of more or less reasonable decisions.
b.
Treatment decisions must be weighed carefully against a "sliding
scale" of treatment benefits, risks, and burdens.
c.
Patients with diminished capacity may be trusted with relatively
inconsequential decisions ("Do you want pain medication?" where
such meds are safe), but more significant decisions ("Do you
consent to surgery?") require greater decision-making capacity.
d.
There is a dangerous slippery slope between decisions that
patients can make on their own, vs. those that require the
physician's assistance.
