    Flutteryby replied to AtlantaRN's topic in Hospice

    Does being straight forward help? When families are like this, is it ok to tell them....They are dying, do you understand that? (yes/no) and then begin to educate them based on their answer. I found myself questioning our hospice nurse as to why ...
