Answer: 

Providing analgesia during the last days, and hours, is an ethically- appropriate nursing action.



Explanation:

Assisted suicide requires some action on the part of the client, and this is not possible for a one- month old infant.  Both the nurse and the parents have an ethical duty to the child. Withholding the opioid analgesic from a dying child is not appropriate, because, of fear it may hasten death, at any age, and this is not considered a contradiction for administering of analgesia.


Hope it helps.
