The nurse's personal experience and emotions may be impacting their ability to provide the best care for the dying person and their spouse. Reassigning the nurse to care for another individual would be the best option to ensure that both the nurse and the dying individual receive the appropriate care they need. It is important to address the nurse's personal needs and provide them with the necessary resources rather than expecting them to push through and potentially compromise patient care.
