Are you sure there is a good fit with a nursing theory? Are you limited to nursing theories -- or could you use a philosophical theory or stance?

I would approach the issue as an ethical dilemma and work through that dilemma -- and while doing that, I would be reviewing nursing theories to see which combine well with my philosophical reasoning of the ethical dilemma.
