The purpose of the study was to ascertain what registered nurses (RNs) knew and believed about speech-language pathologists’ areas of practice (SLPs). The findings of a survey given to 150 registered nurses (RNs) revealed that little is known about how SLPs contribute to patient care among RNs. The study’s findings suggest that in order for RNs and SLPs to collaborate more effectively and give patients better treatment, there is a need for enhanced awareness. The findings will be used to show the effectiveness of RNs and SLPs collaboration.

The authors contend that knowing these factors is essential for deliberating wisely over end-of-life care. This paper will be utilized in order to help doctors and other healthcare professionals make decisions that respect patient autonomy, beneficence, and non-maleficence.

The book Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy by John Keown is reviewed critically in this article. The author analyzes Keown’s arguments against physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia and presents a refutation that supports the freedom to die. In sum, the article makes the case that people should have the opportunity to choose how they pass away and that euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide should be permitted to provide patients a dignified and compassionate choice when it comes to their final days. The paper also emphasizes the significance of creating thorough legal and ethical frameworks to control these techniques and guarantee their proper and responsible usage. The paper will be used to provide insights into the current discussion regarding end-of-life care and presents a detailed study of the ethical, legal, and social challenges surrounding euthanasia. The arguments of the paper will be used to justify my position in the future speech.

In the Netherlands, where these procedures are permitted, this study investigates the experiences of patients with a variety of geriatric diseases who asked for physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. The justifications for and against these end-of-life alternatives were determined by the authors using information from patient and physician interviews. They discovered that a combination of medical and psychological factors, such as pain, loss of autonomy, and social isolation, may make patients with various geriatric syndromes more inclined to want euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. Yet, due to worries about the patient’s capacity to make decisions and the possibility of misuse, doctors could be less inclined to offer these options.
