After an interdisciplinary team meeting regarding the client's request to die a natural death, the primary healthcare provider refuses to write the do-not-resuscitate instructions. Which action should the nurse take?
Reminding the client about new treatments does not address the refusal to write do-not-resuscitate instructions and may not be the most appropriate action.
While facilitating a palliative care meeting is important for addressing end-of-life care, it doesn't directly address the provider's refusal to write do not-resuscitate instructions.
Providing the healthcare provider with a copy of the client's bill of rights may not be the most effective action in this situation.
Initiating a review of the situation by the hospital's ethics committee is appropriate when there is a disagreement between the client's wishes and the healthcare provider's refusal. The ethics committee can help navigate and resolve ethical concerns.
