SCENARIO
The son of your patient, who is acting as medical power of attorney, has asked you, as a provider with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, not to inform his father about his medical status, which reveals a terminal diagnosis, prognosis, and course of treatment.
- Discuss how you would resolve the situation differently from how the power of attorney is asking you to by using the codes of ethics for nurses from the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the International Council of Nurses (ICN), as well as other leadership techniques and a biblical worldview.
