Question

which ethical model describes a cooperative decision - making process between the patient and the provider?
engineering
paternal
collegial
contractual

Explanation:

The collegial ethical model emphasizes a cooperative decision - making process between the patient and the provider. In this model, both parties work together as colleagues to make the best decision for the patient's well - being. The paternal model has the provider making decisions unilaterally as if they were a parent making decisions for a child. The contractual model is more about a transactional relationship based on agreements. Engineering is not an ethical model for patient - provider decision - making.

Answer:

C. Collegial
