To nurse at the end of life, we need to be more conscious of how value-laden the choice of medical and nursing interventions can be. We practice nursing in an ethical minefield. Ethical conflicts can be caused by the most ordinary nursing measures, such as turning, feeding and bathing. In many cases, physicians, patients and their families should take certain decisions. Nurses are also asked to carry out their valueladen choices. In performing tasks, such as eliminating tube and lines, or overseeing morphine intake, nurses are faced with critical moments when they have to execute value judgments. Physicians have sometimes ordered nurses, without discussion, to intervene in ways that may cause permanent unconsciousness, or in cases where a patient's life will and. In these cases, their value-laden choices induce great moral confusion in nurses. "Nurses experience moral distress when they are unable to translate their moral choices into moral action or when they feel that nursing virtues are undermined", or when they know how they should act morally but that act is deemed impossible: among other restraints are those of the individual's beliefs and selfworth.
