Problem: You and your friend were discussing euthanasia and whether it was an ethical procedure. Your friend does not believe in it, but you feel it is an option depending on the circumstances. You think of your great-grandmother, who is terminally ill but is in a lot of pain and is on life support. How do you, as a health care administrator, provide your staff with education on how to help patients make decisions without imposing your own beliefs on them? Cite examples and resources that you would use.
You will be asked to consider how you would handle a hotly debated ethical issue in a manner that is even-handed and allows the patient to make a decision on his or her own terms.
