Patient Situation
Mrs. Castillo has late-stage cancer and is not expected to live more than a few months. With chemotherapy, she could live perhaps a year or two more. She cannot decide what to do. She knows that the chemotherapy will have unpleasant side effects, and be very expensive, and she wants to protect her family from the emotional and financial hardships of a lingering illness. She is showing physical signs of anxiety and distress (e.g., increased heart rate, restlessness, tearfulness). You want to provide support for her decision, whatever it may be.
Caring
Ethical Knowledge: Depending on Mrs. Castillo's decision, can you think of one ethical issue that might arise for you or members of her family later on?
