(1.) I do not think that Nurse M should provide Joan R with that information unless Joan R asks for it. (2.) I do believe that Nurse M should suggest Joan R talk to her doctor about the other available options. It is the doctors job to go over everything with the patient, which includes other options available. The nurse should not have to inform patients about other options unless the doctor asks him or her to. (3.) This question could go either way. I believe that she should find a way to bring it up in a way that would not offend the doctor. She would not want to work with someone who is mad at her but she should find a way to bring it up to him. The doctor should be telling the patients everything before they leave the room.
1. I think this could go either way. I do not think that it is Nurse M's job to tell Joan R this information. However, if other forms have less or different side effects that are more manageable for the patient then yes I think that Nurse M should tell the patient. 2. I do think that Nurse M should tell Joan R that she should talk to the doctor to obtain more information about the different forms of estrogen replacement. Joan R was not aware that there were other forms that she could take. Now that Nurse M has told her this, Joan R may want to talk to the doctor and ask questions about the other forms. 3. I do think that Nurse M should talk to the doctor about this. It is the doctor's duty to provide information to the patient. I think that Nurse M should approach him in a professional manner and not attack or antagonize him. Maybe just simply ask the doctor how come he didn't provide all forms or estrogen replacement to Joan R.
I think that the nurse can give information based on medications and other treatments that the nurse is giving, but that Joan should talk to her doctor about other information regarding treatments. I think that the nurse should talk to Joan's doctor and let him know that Joan has questions so that he will spend more time with her and allow him to talk to her. The nurse should still be professional when contacting the doctor, but still send him to talk to Joan about her concerns. The nurse I think should not question why he didnt provide all forms of estrogen replacement because the doctor has reasoning for doing so and he should discuss it with Joan and not the nurse.
1. I think that the nurse can and should give information about other treatments to the patient. The fact that the doctor has not done this means that the patient has not truly given informed consent. 2. The nurse should suggest that the patient have an additional discussion with the doctor because it is ultimately the doctors responsibility to obtain infomred consent. 3. The nurse should express her concerns with the doctor. If the doctor is not explaining all of the options to the patients then the doctor is not actually obtaining informed consent. The nurse should speak with the doctor and be respectful but express that she is concerned that the doctor did not explain all of the options to the patient and therefore the informed consent is not valid.
1) A nurse's job is to help the patient and by suggesting additional treatment, she is fulfilling her job. The patient has the right to choose which treatment to pursue, but giving her the options what the health care system is for. 2) Yes, the nurse should suggest that Joan discuss further information about her treatments with Dr. W. Getting more information on the new treatment options will help her to make an informed decision. 3) I think the best way to approach this situation would be for the nurse to simply ask Dr. W why he didn't give the patients all of the options. He may be aware of a condition the patient has that the nurse overlooked, or he may have just been neglecting his duties. Either way, the nurse should definitely confront him and politely ask.

She should question why the additional treatments were not offered, Dr. W could have reasons behind why he did not discuss the alternatives, or he could have forgotten. Either way, Nurse M has a responsibility to the patient to make sure care is complete.
1. Yes, I think that the nurse should supply Joan with the information. 2. I think that the nurse should suggest to Joan that she have a discussion regarding the information because it could be beneficial to her and that way she will have all her options laid out in front of her. 3. I think that the nurse should express her concern to the Dr. regarding this becuase he did not give the pt. all the information before having her decide sometihng in regards to her health. He could have just forgot and it not be intentional, or he could have done it on purpose and have underlying motives. I think that the nurse should be honest and straight forward about this issue, no need to beat around the bush and make a big ordeal about it. Just let the Dr. know that there is something she would like to discuss with him and simply ask why he did not tell her.
This is an interesting case in that you can look at it from the point of view of a nurse in the eighties and a nurse today. A nurse in the eighties was used solely as a nurturing figure that followed doctor’s orders. Today, nurses question the doctors and are far less inferior. Speaking from today’s nursing role, Nurse M is absolutely correct in informing Joan R about her other options. Along with this, it would be okay if Nurse M advised Joan R to have an additional conversation with Dr. W about the other options. If Nurse M shared this information with Joan R, that also needs to be shared with the doctor. To approach Dr. W, Nurse M should be straightforward and tell Dr. W. It may have just been an honest mistake and Dr. W forgot or wasn’t aware of the other options. Or maybe Dr. W didn’t share the other options with Joan R if she had a preexisting condition that ruled the other options out. Either way, the options should be discussed with Joan R so that she is fully informed and autonomous.
