Nina the New Nurse is caring for a 78-year-old client, a Cambodian immigrant. The client has end-stage ovarian cancer. Some members of the family have begun a round-the-clock bedside vigil, while others bring assorted homemade dishes to the client’s room. The family is heard softly chanting at times. The client’s grandson notified Nina the New Nurse that the family would like an hour of undisturbed privacy today; they wish to perform a traditional Cambodian ceremony to help loved ones pass to the next life easily. Nina the New Nurse agrees and makes her team aware. She also tries not to assign the other bed in the room in order to allow privacy and space for the family. What, if anything, did Nina the New Nurse do wrong?
