Ethical issues in bone marrow transplantation: a nursing perspective.
It is clear that there are many challenges facing health professionals who care for this patient population. The close collaboration with the physicians on our team ensures that patients and nurses receive clear communication about the goals of the treatment plan. It is our hope that by sharing these insights we challenge other health care teams to provide patient and family-centred care which is compassionate towards the needs of those who depend so greatly on us.
