After Years of Treatment with Chemotherapy and Radiation, a Child

After years of treatment with chemotherapy and radiation, a child with a brain tumor is shown to be refractory to treatment, and a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) has been obtained. The mother has reached the stage of acceptance; the father is angry that the medical and nursing team has not been able to "save" his child. How would the multidisciplinary team best support this family?

A) Tell the father that he should have brought his child in earlier for treatment.
B) Continue to include the family in planning care and assure them that the child will be kept comfortable in the days to come.
C) Initiate a Social Services referral.
D) Contact the on-call chaplain for consultation with the entire family and ask him to take the father aside for additional assistance.
