As patients and families make the critical decision to end their life, the question becomes: What are we as nurses doing to focus on the needs of the patient and family? There is a lack of documentation when it comes to families (or the patient) making a decision for the withdrawal of life support, which may lead to a breakdown in communication between the family and medical professionals. Improving the documentation process can improve the nurse-patient relationship and communication as well as help put the family and patients at ease with their decision.
当患者及其家属做出结束生命的关键决定时，问题就来了：作为护士，我们在做些什么来关注患者及其家属的需求呢？在涉及家属（或患者）做出撤除生命支持的决定时，缺乏相关记录，这可能导致家属与医疗专业人员之间的沟通出现障碍。改进记录流程可以改善护患关系与沟通，也有助于让家属和患者对他们的决定感到安心。
