Ethical Palliative Family Nursing Care: A New Concept of Caring for Patients and Families

Abstract

ABSTRACT The practice of nursing has a duty to educate, communicate, and resource patients and families during the period in which the solution to an ethical dilemma is predetermined by evidence-based practice. Clearly, there is a gap in the quality of care provided or the interpretation of the quality of care being provided during difficult ethical situations requiring a systematic change to increase patient and family comfort and satisfaction.
