There was this time that the caregivers told the hospice staff not to tell the patient that they are on hospice care. The caregivers told the chaplain to say he is a local preacher visiting and they told the social worker to say she was sent by the nurse/doctor to visit. I asked them what they did and they both said they played along. I can see probably why the chaplain did since he doesn’t follow the code of ethics. I was surprised that the social workers played along because she does follow the code of ethics. I would probably try to have a professional conversation and tell her that is probably unethical for us to do. Also inform her that since we work in a health care profession we have to follow Patient autonomy: The right of patients
