We must see if the elderly can be cared for and make sure that the families are capable of the hardships to come in the future. The families will also need teaching for the disease and for the caring as the disease progresses. The patient themselves will need to know what to expect and how to cope.

How the ANA Code of Nursing Ethics would influence a final decision in each case study. With the patient with the hemorrhagic stroke, it is our responsibility to discuss with the patient’s family possible options in which they would feel comfortable taking.
