Determining the decision-making capacity of a patient who refused food and water = Détermination de la capacité de prise de décision d'un patient qui refuse la nourriture et l'eau

Article

TERMAN, Stanley A.

Une patiente en phase terminale a exprimé le désir de hâter sa fin et a refusé de s'alimenter. Le psychiatre, interrogé sur la lucidité de la patiente, a utilisé pour cela un questionnaire semi-structuré tiré d'un outil initialement destiné à tester l'aptitude à "formuler des directives évolutives". Bien que la patiente ait finalement démontré sa résolution en cessant de s'hydrater, la complexité de ce cas, particulièrement autour du caractère définitif du choix de la patiente, illustre le besoin de garde-fou spécifique pour les patients.
