Case Study Instructions
The
case study demonstrates a role related and ethical conundrum when the nurse is
taking care
of
an end stage aggressive lung cancer patient, Mr. Wilson, who expressed suicidal
intentions to
the
nurse and asked to keep the secret from his family and the hospital staff.
If
the nurse knows of Mr. Wilsons’ plan for rational suicide, would the nurse be
obligated to
intervene?
If so, what actions could the nurse take at this point? Does a nurse have the
right to
try
to stop a person from committing rational suicide (to act in the best interest
of the patient)?
Is
a nurse supposed to support the person’s autonomous decision to commit rational
suicide?
even
when that decision is morally and religiously incompatible with the nurse’s
perspective?
What
is the nurse role?
