What Are the Legal Considerations in End-of-Life Care?
End-of-life care involves complex legal and ethical issues. Nurses must respect advanced directives, living wills, and do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. Understanding the legal rights of patients and their families, as well as the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, and non-maleficence, is essential in providing compassionate and lawful end-of-life care.
