End of Life Care Patient Case

Today’s Vascular Wellness Voice offers a moving Nurse Clinicians in Action Story. This Vascular Access for End of Life Care patient case occurred in a long-term care facility (LTC) with a critically ill patient whose family was faced with making decisions on the patient’s behalf during an end of life situation. The patient was in severe decline and was unable to eat or drink. The family’s preference was to continue administering fluids and monitor their loved one, hoping for improvement.
