Abstract
Among the many decisions made and implemented in the intensive care unit (ICU) are those about where and when treatment limits should apply. As these decisions often foreshadow the end of life, they are conceptually different to those made with the aim of maintaining and restoring health and life. Although nurses do not bear ultimate responsibility for making these decisions, they are often the ones who action them.
