Abstract
NURSES ARE FACED WITH ETHICAL DILEMMAS EVERY DAY: situations where no "right" answer is clear. This is especially common during end-of-life (EOL) care, where patients and caregivers may experience charged emotions, grief, and loss. Oncology nurses are often called on to act as mediators through difficult moments, advocating for their patients while connecting with the resources that will help them during a challenging time.
