Autonomy in Long Term Care: Some Crucial Distinctions1
Abstract
In long term care, conflicts over autonomy can begin at the level of conceptualization, especially when basic distinctions and polarities are not adequately recognized. To indicate this conceptual complexity, six polarities are identified and examined. Case studies illustrate how each polarity can give rise to ethical problems in long term care practice. Further directions for gerontological theory, practice, and research are indicated by a series of focal questions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
