A CHN Finds That a Family Has Decided to Refuse

A CHN finds that a family has decided to refuse medical intervention for a particular health concern because the intervention could affect the family member's ability to return to work, and consequently the family's resources would be drastically reduced. Which of the following actions by the CHN would ethically be most appropriate in this situation?

A) The CHN should appreciate that the couple has made the decision that they feel is best for their family and take no further action if it is clear that they have made an informed choice.
B) The CHN should insist that every individual in society has a right to health care and that the family will have to find some way to raise funds for the needed treatment.
C) The CHN should talk to the social worker on the health care team to see if he or she can convince the couple to agree to the medical intervention.
D) The CHN should arrange a meeting with the family to discuss the consequences of the couple's decision.
