The patient is in critical condition and his vital signs are rapidly deteriorating. It is known that the patient is currently undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkins lymphoma. The patient is accompanied by his wife, who wants the medical staff to do everything to resuscitate the patient and bring him back. The patient also has 2 daughters, who are on their way to the hospital. The patients written advance directive states that the patient does not wish to be resuscitated or have any sort of life support. Which of the following is the appropriate course of action?? A: Respect the wifes wishes and resuscitate the patient, B: Contact the patients siblings or other first-degree relatives, C: Respect the patients advance directive orders, D: Consult a judge, E: Take into account the best medical decision made by the physician for the patient,  <response>: This is an ethical question involving a conflict between the wishes of the patients wife and the patients advance directive. The key details are that the patient is in critical condition, has an advance directive stating he does not want resuscitation or life support, but his wife wants the medical staff to resuscitate him. Legally and ethically, the patients advance directive should take precedence over the wifes wishes, as it represents the patients own preferences when he had capacity. The appropriate choices are to respect the advance directive by not resuscitating, or to consult an ethics committee if there are concerns about the applicability of the directive. Contacting other relatives or making a unilateral medical decision are not ideal options.C: Respect the patients advance directive orders
