  2. Ethical Question and Concern

    JoeyDog replied to oncnursern's topic in General Nursing

    Has her family been informed of her progression? I think that if she is obviously not brain dead and can respond to questions she should be treated for her sepsis and so forth. If she had originally...

    JoeyDog replied to student to be in VA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
