Abstract

Home care nurses frequently encounter elderly caregivers whose ability to drive is questionable.

 

[black small square] Should the nurse intervene when the person is not a patient?

 

[black small square] Does the nurse have a legal or ethical responsibility when this happens?

 

 

Using a case study approach, Dr. Turkoski examines such a situation and suggests ways to intervene.
