Scenаriо:Mr. Jоhn Smith, а 72-yeаr-оld man, has been receiving palliative care for advanced pancreatic cancer. Despite efforts to manage his symptoms, his condition has progressively worsened, and he is now in the final stages of his illness. Mr. Smith recently has had a decreased appetite and has been eating very little. Mr. Smith has expressed his wishes clearly to his healthcare team and family: he does not want to receive IV fluids or enteral feeding. He has discussed his decision with the palliative care team, who support his autonomy and have reassured him that this approach aligns with best practices for comfort care. However, Mr. Smith’s family is struggling to accept his decision. His adult children, Sarah and Michael, believe that withholding artificial hydration and nutrition is equivalent to “starving him to death” and feel that starting IV fluids and a feeding tube would prolong his life and believe it will help him feel better. They argue that not providing these measures is unethical and are pressuring the healthcare team to intervene. This disagreement has caused emotional distress for both the family and Mr. Smith, who feels his autonomy is being challenged. The healthcare team is now seeking to mediate this ethical conflict while honoring Mr. Smith’s wishes and providing support to his family. For each discussion question, please provide a thoughtful response (minimum 2-3 sentences). 4.
