Although Kuhse introduces the surrogate mother analogy to characterize the traditional role of a nurse, Newton rejects it on sexist grounds.

Renee is a registered nurse who is caring for Gloria, a frail, elderly, terminally ill patient who also suffers from dementia. Gloria has no family to convey her wishes, and is often confused during treatments. Renee is concerned that continuation of Gloria’s treatment plan which includes chemotherapy might be more harmful than beneficial.  Gloria has received chemotherapy in the past, but Renee had to interrupt the treatment several times because Gloria experienced nausea, difficulty breathing, and tachycardia (increased heart rate). Renee does not want Gloria to suffer and challenges the doctor’s orders. She refuses to administer chemotherapy to Gloria. The doctor reprimands the nurse, and reminds her that as medical professionals they are both obligated to do whatever they can to save the patient’s life. Is Renee justified in refusing the doctor’s orders?

Include at least ONE of Kuhse’s arguments to support your answer.
