Seventy-eight-year-old Mr. Harod has been a long-term resident
of the retirement community. Although mentally sharp, his
condition has declined in the past several months and he has
been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He has declined
treatment, stating that he understands his poor prognosis and
would rather spend whatever life he has left unbothered by the
stress and side effects of treatment,
Last month Mr. Harod was transferred to the nursing home
section of the retirement community. You have noticed several
individuals regularly visiting him and learn from another
resident that these people are part of a group who support
assisted suicide,
A few days later, when entering Mr. Harod's room for morning
rounds, you find him deceased. By his bed are several papers
that describe who to contact and what plans to make. You are
aware that the people who had been visiting had been there the
night before and spent considerable time in a private meeting
with Mr. Harod.
One of the residents comments that Mr. Harod "went out on his
own terms," It appears several of the residents support his
choice; it was, in fact, suicide.
What should you do in this situation?
*Please note that I live in Texas and assisted suicide is illegal
and prohibited in Texas. Please research nursing
responsibilities related to this scenario
APA Format and references must be within the past 5 years, no
references earlier than 2015 should be used
