I remember discussing shared decision-making in class, but I'm not entirely sure how it applies to malpractice protection.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The question is clearly focused on the shared decision-making program, so the correct statement is likely about the discussion between Mr. Martinez and Dr. Cohen, and the ultimate decision being up to the patient, not the doctor.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if the correct answer is about protecting against malpractice or about the decision-making process. I'll need to carefully read through the details and think about the implications of the shared decision-making program.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the question is asking about the shared decision-making program, so the most likely correct statement is that Mr. Martinez and Dr. Cohen will discuss the care options, but the final decision is up to Mr. Martinez, not Dr. Cohen.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about the shared decision-making program, but I'm not entirely clear on how that relates to malpractice and the ultimate decision about care.
