**This unique case-based resource provides real-life ethical scenarios and dilemmas that build your expertise on this increasingly important topic *Carefully selected to encourage thinking and discussion, the cases in Professional Issues and Ethics in Physical Therapy *provide a framework for quickly and accurately answering vital questions when it comes to professional ethics in a physical therapy setting like "What should I do?" and "How should I act?" In addition to addressing clinician-patient situations, it explains how to resolve issues within institutional and societal perspectives.

With content specifically designed to help students excel in their Professional Issues & Ethics Course, this updated guide covers everything you need to know, including:

• Healthcare ethics and professionalism

• Ethical risk factors

• Decision-making models for clinical practice

• Frameworks for different practice settings

• Protecting against moral injury in practice

• Practicing ethically in a "hands off" world

• Accountability and boundaries

• Professional relationships, responsibility, and self-regulation

The text is divided into two sections:* Ethics for the Physical Therapist provides didactic, foundational material; Types of Ethical Decisions: Case Analysis * applies ethical decision-making tools to relevant cases, with the second section focusing on case analyses. The two sections integrate with one another, but each can also be read separately.
