Answer / Mukesh Chandra

In these sensitive conversations, I strive to be compassionate, empathetic, and respectful of the child's and family's feelings. I ensure that they understand their options, the potential outcomes of each choice, and the consequences of not having an advance directive in place. I also make every effort to involve other healthcare professionals, ethicists, and social workers as needed to support the family during this difficult time.
