Option #1 – Case Study to Consider
Ann and Michael have been married for 55 years. Ann is 80 yearsold, and suffers from lung cancer and advanced Alzheimer’s
disease. She currently resides in a nursing home, and often does
not recognize Michael when he visits. Last night she was admitted
to the hospital with difficulty breathing. Today, you are the nurse
caring for Ann, and her physician is suggesting surgery to remove
part of her lung to potentially slow the progression of her cancer.
Michael is feeling unsure about this course of treatment, and asks
for your advice and guidance.

your patient
