SOLVED2999
A nurse is caring for an elderly woman with end-stage cardiac disease who has just arrested. There are no advance directives in the chart, but the patient’s daughters have agreed with the physician’s suggestion to initiate life support. After the nurse anesthetist administers the neuromuscular blocker that paralyzes the respiratory muscles to facilitate the use of the ventilator, the patient’s daughters decide they do not want her to be continued on life support. The physician then issues an order to discontinue the ventilator. When the nurses protest because the neuromuscular blocker has just been administered, the physician states that the patient will die anyway and says he will take full responsibility for the action.
