Dr. Gаrrisоn spent the time necessаry tо mаke sure Ernest understоod his diagnosis, his prognosis that he only had a few months to live, and all his potential treatment options. She asked for Ernest to share his wants and desires for his care, and she provided accurate information on his treatment options according to the latest research and she provided some insight into how these treatment options might impact Ernest based on her own clinical experiences treating patients with the same diagnosis. Dr. Garrison’s communication was focused on Ernest and his perspective, and she worked very hard to honor his health literacy.  They discussed all potential treatment options, the positive and negative aspects of each for Ernest’s specific situation and wants, and they discussed the likely results of choosing no treatment at all. Dr. Garrison made sure Ernest had no further questions and encouraged him to take all the time he needed to make his decision.  Dr. Garrison gave him a document to sign that included all the information they had just discussed and then stepped out of the room to give Ernest time to consider his options.  About 10 minutes later, Dr. Garrison returned and Ernest told her what he had decided regarding his potential treatment options. Ernest is a 79-year-old male diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Garrison is Ernest’s oncologist (physician who specializes in treating cancer).  Those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer often receive their diagnosis after the cancer has metastasized (spread to other regions of the body) because pancreatic cancer tends not to cause many symptoms early on.  Ernest’s cancer has metastasized, and Dr. Garrison estimates he has about 2 months to live without treatment and possibly 4 months with aggressive chemotherapy and radiation.  It is very important that Dr. Garrison demonstrates veracity by telling Ernest the truth about his short life expectancy even if he chooses aggressive treatment.  When discussing Ernest’s diagnosis, life expectancy and potential treatment plans, Dr. Garrison pays special attention to Ernest’s understanding of this information. She recognizes that this information can be complex and challenging to understand even on the best of days, but she’ll be communicating to a patient who has just learned he only has a few months to live.  She must communicate in a manner that supports Ernest’s health literacy.  Based on the description of the patient-provider interaction, Choose 2 of the following that were most clearly accomplished? Shared decision making Informed consent Principle of double effect Patient privacy Moral duty
