MY POST:

How often do healthcare providers encounter ethical dilemmas in end of life care?

            Medical practitioners come across moral dilemmas more frequently in their professional careers and practice (Odgers, 2019). In these situations, the no-correct response is stark evidence. This is particularly true in end-of-life treatment, where clients and families may be dealing with intense feelings, sadness, and tragedy.

What is the source of the ethical dilemma?

Communication problems, clinical confidentiality being harmed, inadequate treatment control, non-beneficial treatment, and joint decision-making can all lead to ethical dilemmas. Communication is a key model in the moral quagmire (Liu, 2017). It affects how patients perceive information about the prevailing health conditions.

What is the nurse’s role in this situation?

Immunology clinicians can help patients, close relatives, and guardians overcome ethical dilemmas by providing the best quality treatment while helping them to encounter EOL with integrity (Liu, 2017). Nurses can keep the patients in terms of the current health status while offering solace and guidance.

What legal and ethical standards must health care personnel be expected to consider in end of life care?

The medical personnel should provide full information to the patients. Another standard is confidentiality where the clinical person should disclose the details to the patient only.

The information on the health of the patient can only be disseminated to other parties with his or her consent (Tahan, 2020). Another standard is disclosure. The patient should be briefed on all matters concerns his or her health.

If you did not agree with the decision being made, can you excuse yourself from caring for the patient?

The medical practitioner can express dissatisfaction with the exercise. This can be contained in the fact that an incorrect decision may be made (Croxon, 2018). The clinical expert can decide to part ways with the therapy for it may result in a negative outcome.

Ultimately, who should make a decision about end of life care? Explain your rationale.

The patient can make a judgment about the end of life care. This is because they are the consumers of health products and dictate their preferences (Tahan, 2020). In the case, the patient feels incapable of continuing with the therapy they can request termination. The medical personnel is bound to offer guidance and facilitate the process.
