Description

In any clinical setting, the patient’s preferences are respected and valued by the medical team. As clear as that may seem, that can be tough when considering all the perspectives of what makes up a patient’s best interest (BI), especially for a minor. In the literature, there is wide disagreement about the interpretation of BI. The primary goal of this project is to unearth the perspectives that play into a pediatric patient’s best interest and delineate how and whether family interests should be considered.
