If I was Robert's nurse I would explore more options and treatment plans to prevent him from being forced into a plan. This is based on the autonomy principle, as Robert deserves to have control over what happens to him.

My mother is a nurse and my personal hero. I grew up admiring her working and wanted to have an impact the same way she did and still does. #NUR3106#M1W1
