How should careproviders respond to patients' requests that may be refused?

Edmund G Howe. J Clin Ethics. 2012 Summer.

Abstract

Some requests made to careproviders by patients may be of great personal importance to patients. Careproviders may assign proportionally greater weight to these exceptional requests, and may choose to take exceptional measures to assist. A strong trust relationship may be formed with patients as a result.
