Patient autonomy: The right of patients to make decisions about their medical care without their health care provider trying to influence the decision. Patient autonomy does allow for health care providers to educate the patient but does not allow the health care provider to make the decision for the patient.
Autonomy refers to a personâs right to self-management in terms of his conduct and affairs. Its literal meaning comes from the Greek word âautonomosâ with âautoâ meaning âselfâ and ânomosâ meaning âlawâ. Autonomy also defines a personâs right to make decisions on his own and not be forced or manipulated by anybody else.
