Abstract
Patient-centered care emphasizes patient autonomy and aligning treatment with their values. It integrates patients’ and families’ experiences into illness management, weighing risks and benefits. Ethical dilemmas arise when a pregnant woman's interests conflict with the fetus's potential life. The four-box approach offers a structured ethical framework, considering medical indications, patient preferences, quality of life, and contextual factors—each crucial to responsible, person-centered care.
