These ethical dilemmas are imperative to the investigation of nurses and their relation to end-of-life care because nurses, ultimately, spend the most time with the patient, thus need to be held responsible for taking specific actions to ensure those ethical standards are met for the best patient care. The scope and context of the nurse’s ability to uphold these ethical dilemmas is between them and their patients. This is important because the relationship between the nurse and patient is important to establish an understanding of the care needed to fulfil and respect their personal, cultural and spiritual beliefs. According to a survey conducted to assess the relevance of nurses and their usage of different resources to solve ethical dilemmas, two-thirds, about 67% of the nurses used their resources to solve any ethical issues (Cheon et al., 2015). This Which supports the correlation between the resource’s nurses have access to and the level of care they provide to patients near death. The significance of the resources provided to nurses allows them to proper administer the best care to patients near death to ensure their ethical dilemmas are not only acknowledged, but respected, too. The purpose of this paper is to discuss about the ethical dilemma that is associated with end of life care.
