Among all the 12 tenets of patient's bill of rights, the right to considerate and respectful care is considered the most important bill of right as it protects the patient from being ill treated and misbehaved by any health care team members which include physical, sexual or verbal abuse.Each patient is unique and has the right to be treated based on individual needs. A patient has the right to have personal possessions unless it is medically contraindicated or cause any harm to co-patients.
