Ethical dilemmas in nursing are most pronounced in palliative and end-of-life care,
where we meet the most demanding and complex needs of nursing care. The research discusses the importance of ethics, religion and spirituality in palliative care, from the perspective
of three monotheistic religions and the emphasis on end-of-life ethical dilemmas and how
religious beliefs can affect end-of-life medical care and nursing. The importance of ethics,
religion and spirituality is presented in the research within three basic ethical principles,
such as withholding and withdrawal of treatment, unjustified treatment and treatment with
palliative sedation, and tried to justify its assessment in light of Jewish, Catholic and Islamic
perspectives
