Which scenario describes a situation where a nurse is meeting their legal and ethical responsibilities in caring for patients approaching the end of life?
1) Working with a patient who is worried that his illness will eventually hinder his cognitive ability, a nurse advises the patient that he may use an advance directive to indicate his wishes to have MAiD when she becomes incapacitated.
2) Working with a patient with a terminal prognosis, a nurse should avoid using the words "death" or "dying" as these can be upsetting to patients and families.
3) A nurse who is a conscientious objector to MAiD can transfer care of the patient receiving MAiD to another nurse as long as they ensure continuity of care and explain to the patient why they are taking this action.
4) A nurse explains to a patient and family in plain language that if they decide to end active treatment, this does not mean that care or attention to their needs will be withdrawn.
