What Ethical Considerations Are Involved in End-of-Life Care?
Nurses must navigate several ethical considerations, such as:
- Autonomy: Respecting the patient’s wishes and informed decisions. - Beneficence: Acting in the best interest of the patient. - Non-maleficence: Avoiding harm, including overtreatment or undertreatment. - Justice: Ensuring fair access to end-of-life care resources.
