Notes
- psychosocial stress can impair decision making[3]
- in cases of multiple comorbidities, the time horizon for benefit from additional treatment (chemotherapy) is most useful to patients[4]
- if patient refuses medical recommendations, ask why (even if it seems unlikely you will get a coherent response)[4]
- refusal of treatment is the beginning of a conversation that can provide additional means to assess the patient's decisional capacity for informed refusal[4]
