Some children and teenagers facing childhood cancer lack strong familial support.
Pediatric Oncology nurses often grow close to these young people. But nurses walk a fine line between professional care and taking on the role of a family member, or even a parent. Complex ethical questions are raised in these circumstances. This film tells the in depth, real-life story of one charming, troubled teenager, his nurse and his family. It offers tools and resources to examine therapeutic relationships and boundary issues through complex, challenging situations. The module includes competencies, learning objectives, discussion questions, resources, and take-home points.
