Nurses encounter many ethic dilemmas when providing care to a family with infants born with Trisomy 18 (Edward's Syndrome). This Case Study presented by the ANCC Ethics series explore the following dilemmas involved:

"(1) When is it ethical to limit options offered for medical interventions?

(2) Who makes decisions when options for medical interventions are considered futile?

(3) What principles guide decisions about care

(4) What options are available to nurses when they do not agree with family members about suffering?"
