Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 15 core end-of-life competencies for nurses. The one which supports the nurse's request not to provide care to a dying patient because of her personal feelings about the care the patient is receiving would be considered under the competency of recognizing one's own attitudes and feelings about death. This situation would not promote the provision of care of the dying as an important skill nor assess multiple dimensions to improve quality at end of life. This situation is not an attempt to identify barriers to the patient's effective use of resources.
