Dilemmas in nursing care: a student's reflection of a critical incident.
A student nurse will face many questions when they are confronted with the death of a patient. In this paper, a first-year nursing student reflects upon the death of a young adult (Yvonne) as part of a nursing inquiry subject. The author reflects upon the death of Yvonne and re-examines the questions and responses that this critical incident raised.
