Question

A military RN is ordered to force feed a terrorist prisoner while he is undergoing interrogation. The prisoner is on a hunger strike protesting his capture

Answer 1

Forced feeding with an informed and voluntary refusal is unjustifiable. It emphasizes the importance of respecting the wishes of the patient that means not forcing treatment upon prisoners and force them to stop fasting. This will be against the ruels and regulations. It is the prisoner's choice.
Prisoners remain on hunger strikes and they know the consequences of this action.

Doctors should never be apply coercive feeding, with prisoners being tied down and intravenous drips or esophageal tubes being forced into them. These forceful actions can be considered a form of torture.

Informed consent before feedind is necessary. Doctor confirmed within the trust of the doctor-patient relationship, and respecting the dignity of the fasting prisoner he is treating is certainly part of the physician's duty in looking after the patient’s welfare.

Artificial feeding with the hunger striker’s explicit or implied consent is ethically acceptable.
