I recall teaching an ethics course to nurses in a master’s degree program in New York. As we were discussing care for the elderly, a young nurse, about 23 years of age, said “I think we should not be providing expensive tests and treatments for patients over 50 years of age. People at that age have basically lived their lives”. Although most of the nurses in the class were in their late 40s and early 50s, there was a silence across the room. My assumption is the nurse was unaware of the age group in the class, as she was the youngest nurse. As to the older nurses, I am not sure as to why they remained so silent. To my surprise, no one uttered a word and the class moved on as though nothing was said. I must say that I, being 33, was speechless. 1. Discuss how this student might have a difference in opinion once she reaches the age of her classmates. 2. Why do you believe the older nurses in the class remained silent? Do you think they may have agreed with the younger nurse?
