This document discusses a case scenario involving a nurse caring for a terminally ill cancer patient, Mr. Newcomb. As Mr. Newcomb nears the end of his life, he makes a request of the nurse that involves deceiving his wife - he asks if he can see his mistress one last time while telling his wife he will be busy. The nurse must consider ethical principles like beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy and justice to determine how to respond. Personal values and self-care strategies are also important factors. The nurse is asked to summarize how ethics apply, reflect on influences, and propose self-care plans.
