A case study of Muslims’ perspectives of expanded terminal sedation:addressing the elephant in the room
any case beyond the usual conditions for terminal sedation should be carefully examined, especially when nurses' religious beliefs or moral values contradict it. If sedation should be administered, adequate preparation of healthcare providers should be arranged, including discussing with them the goals of care and the rationale for sedation before and after initiating it. Generating a policy for conscientious objections, allowing nurses to express their own emotions and concerns in a supportive environment are suggested approaches to preserve their wellness.
