Rationale :-
Nurses face many challenging situations in their workplace, and sometimes, this may challenge a person’s ethical boundaries. Under standing these boundaries can be complex, how ever is imperative. In Australia the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) provides guidelines for practice and the International Council of Nurses (ICN) provides the code of ethics for nurses. These principles and guidelines are an effective tool to be used in decision making and clinical reasoning.

Case Scenario :-
Arnold Perera is an 87-year-old male who was admitted to hospital 2 weeks ago due to a syncopal episode. He fell down a flight of stairs and sustained a fractured neck of femur and multiple fractured ribs. He has a past medical history of hyper tension diabetes and in the last 6 months, has experienced a functional decline. In the last month he has needed to call on additional support. This was difficult for Arnold as he was a previously very independent person. He had recently completed an enduring medical power of attorney form where he listed his daughter as his medical power of attorney.

The medical team predicted he would have 3 months to live. The medical team first disclosed this information to Kim Arnold’s daughter. Kim begged the medical team to not tell her father as it would lead to him living in fear and she was scared this news would send his health spirally downwards further.
