As a patient nears the end of life, conflicts commonly arise when the family’s expectations exceed what is medically possible.

Utilizing recognized ethical tenants, this session explores a structured framework for analyzing ethical dilemmas and provides suggested techniques for managing conflict and aligning end-of-life goals through effective communication.
