A nurse is beginning the six-step
ethical decision-making process
by gathering relevant
information before deciding on a
course of action. What questions
should the nurse ask when
gathering information to make
an ethical decision? Select all
that apply.
Is the patient looking for cure
or palliation?
Can quality of life be improved
with treatment?
What is the condition and
prognosis of the patient?
What emotions have been
involved in this situation?
Have there been
any
clinical
research studies published?
