Asked by MasterLemur2304

Laura is a nursing staff member on a medical-surgical unit. She notices that there has been focused attention on one specific patient who is now receiving comfort care measures. The patient does not appear in any distress or pain. The family members, however, have been difficult to manage and have made constant demands for the patient to receive increased doses of medication to be sure their loved one does not suffer. Laura witnesses a staff nurse, who is assigned to the comfort care of the patient, tell another nurse that she is going to give a “nurse’s dose” of morphine because she is “tired of the family’s criticism” of the care she is giving.

 

 

1. What plausible actions should Laura take at this point? 

2. Which legal and ethical reasons could Laura rely on to justify the actions she takes? 

3. Which of Laura’s actions seem the most justified from a moral and ethical standpoint?
