Abstract

A geriatric inpatient may learn of the death of a loved one. The medical team must assess what is the kindest way to announce it to the patient who is already fragile. It will address the patient's relationship with the loved one, the right to information, and the position of the family. Accompanying the patient through this ordeal is also important. This delicate issue needs the reflection of the team.

摘要

老年住院患者可能会得知亲人的去世。医疗团队必须评估以何种最恰当的方式将这一消息告知已然脆弱的患者。这需要考量患者与亲人的关系、知情权以及家属的立场。陪伴患者度过这一痛苦经历也很重要。这个微妙的问题需要团队进行思考。
