Demonstrate sound ethical thinking and relevant ethical principles when considering limiting life support.

Write a 2-3 page paper that examines the moral and ethical issues

1. Respect for autonomy: Patients and their families should be involved in decision-making about their own care, including the decision to limit or withdraw life support.

2. Nonmaleficence: Caregivers should refrain from prolonging treatment when it is clear that there is no benefit to the patient or little chance of returning to a meaningful quality of life.

3. Beneficence: Caregivers should strive to provide treatments that are beneficial to the patient and optimize outcomes while minimizing pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

4. Justice: Treatment decisions should be based on sound clinical judgment rather than economic considerations or other factors unrelated to medical need and health outcomes.
