End-Of-Life Decisions Essay 6
Write an article for a community newsletter for a local retirement
village that explains the laws, policies, and choices surrounding
end-of-life health care decisions.
Nurses are at the bedside during the dying process; they spend
entire shifts with patients and families; they develop trusting
relationships; and they are competent to assess patient and family
needs. Nurses gain a unique perspective that allows them to
become aware when a patient is not responding to treatment. This
perspective places nurses in a position to facilitate end-of-life
decision making. (Adams, Bailey. Anderson, & Docherty, 2011, para.
4)
