What Strategies Should The Hospice Nurse Take To Resolve The Ethical
\nDilemma?
\n1. Mrs. Elle, 80 years of age, is a female patient who is diagnosed with end-stage cancer of the small
\nintestine. She is currently receiving comfort measures only in hospice. She has gangrene of her right foot
\nand has a history of diabetes controlled with oral agents. She is confused and the physician has
\ndetermined that she is unable to make her own informed decisions. The hospice nurse, not realizing that
\nthe weekly order for CBC and renal prole had been discontinued, obtained the labs and sent them to the
\nnearby laboratory for processing. The abnormal lab results obtained later that day revealed that the
\npatient needed a blood transfusion. The hospice nurse updated the patient\u2019s medical power of attorney
\nwho was distressed at the report. The patient\u2019s wishes were to die peacefully and to not have to undergo
\nan amputation of her right foot. But if the patient receives the blood transfusion, she may live long
\nenough to need the amputation. The patient\u2019s physician had previously informed the medical power of
\nattorney that the patient would most likely not be able to survive the amputation. The patient\u2019s medical
\npower of attorney had made the request to cease all labs so that the patient would receive comfort
\nmeasures until she died. The patient has no complaint of shortness of breath or discomfort.
