your everyday work, this study guide can be used in different ways, depending on your

A Question of Respect: Nurses and
End-of-Life Treatment Dilemmas
Nurses, as key providers of care to clients
who are dying, are often the client's most intimate and constant
contact. Nurses, therefore, have an in-depth perspective of how the
client and family regard life and death. Presented to the special senate
committee on euthanasia and assisted suicide, this brief addresses the
public's understanding of end-of-life issues. It also includes a discussion paper, which features sections on euthanasia,
withholding and withdrawing treatment, the use of advance directives
(living wills), appropriate resuscitation, palliative care and support
for the individual nurse.
