I have a class project due and would like to get some feedback, espcially those in hospice care. Here it is.
The doctor has an order in for increased dosages of morphine for a terminally ill patient, her resp are 4 to 8 per minute. I think that increasing the dosage anymore would kill her and the order should be clarified by the doctor. I also believe by increasing the dosage would be unethical because it would be Practioner asisted suicide. Am I on the right line of thinking or no.
