Problem
AC is a 72-year-old male who is admitted to your ICU after suffering a massive stroke that has left him unresponsive and unable to communicate. He is currently on a ventilator. It was discovered that the stroke was the result of a medication error. His wife of 48 years is available along with their one adult daughter. The wife informs you that they don't have any advanced directives, but she is "pretty sure her husband would not want to live like this." However, their daughter is adamant her dad would want to be kept alive in case there is any chance to come out of this.
o Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario on all stakeholders involved, including the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient's family.
