|April 1, 1996
Abstract:
Nurses confront the clinical realities and controversies of end-of-life decisions in all practice settings and professional roles. It is imperative that nurses consider these issues and understand the ethical and professional parameters of practice. A code of ethics and professional position statements can provide guidance and support as nurses attempt to fulfill their professional obligations and deliver competent and compassionate end-of-life care.
