1. Autonomy model
2. Values-based decision model
3. Respect for persons model
4. Patient benefit model
2
Rationale: The values-based decision model is predicated on sharing of information and assisting the individual to become empowered to speak on his or her own behalf. The patient benefit model is used for incompetent patients. The autonomy model allows for decision making by the competent patient. The patient advocate model is also known as the respect for persons model and focuses on inherent human dignity and respect. This model is not as specific as the other models. The jurisprudence model is not an advocacy model.
