Abstract

For oncology patients with no advance directives, vital conversations about advance care planning can occur too late, therefore rendering them unable to verbalize their end-of-life wishes. However, nurses have a pivotal role in creating relationship-based caring with patients and these meaningful connections can translate to conversations about advance care planning.
