case study -
Synopsis from the report On 17 July the nurse was at work and
made comments to colleagues to the effect that she had helped the
deceased to die, that she was proud of this, and that she believed
in euthanasia, believed that it should be discussed, and more of it
should occur. She referred to herself as the angel of death, and as
Dr Kevorkian. When questioned about these statements by her
employer, the respondent admitted that the morphine she had
administered to the deceased was not a normal dose, because she was
not going to let the deceased suffer, and said that she had acted
in the best interests of the deceased. Following this, her
employment was terminated on about 26 August 2014. Her registration
as an enrolled nurse expired on 30 May 2015. At the hearing she
said that she had not worked since, as a nurse or
otherwise.
question:
share a synopsis of the professional responsibilities and
ethical issues arising and the duty of care of the Registered
Nurse. This section must provide a comprehensive discussion of
these areas based on the case study and with reference from the
literature
