In an inpatient clinical setting, a patient refuses surgical intervention in favor of medical management for coronary artery disease. The health care delivery team and the patient’s family favor
surgical intervention. Can this dilemma be resolved solely on the theories of deontology and teleology? Why or why not? How would you resolve the issue? When discussing resolutions, please
address each of the following ethical principles: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, veracity, fidelity, paternalism justice, and respect for others.
