Renee is а registered nurse whо is cаring fоr Glоriа, 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.
