FERREIRA, Debora Carvalho; SILVA JUNIOR, Aluisio Gomes da e BATISTA, Rodrigo Siqueira. Bioethics in Decision-Making in Primary Health. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.3, pp.479-485. ISSN 1981-5271. https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v39n3e00742015.
Medical practice is based on judgment and decision-making regarding care actions for patients, families and communities. This entails the composition of the technical and ethical dimensions of clinical practice. Working on the premise of the considerable importance of the decision-making and judgment process in medical practice, this paper aims to discuss this dimension in terms of the general practitioner’s everyday work in Primary Health Care. Therefore, a fictional clinical situation is used from which considerations regarding ethical behavior in the context of bioethics are made in order to solve the problem. The importance of encouraging such thinking in the practice of these professionals is highlighted in the conclusion of the text.
