“Act as an experienced nurse educator skilled in compassionate family communication. Help me draft a letter to a patient's family explaining a change in care approach. The situation is: [describe the general scenario, e.g., 'we transitioned from aggressive treatment to comfort-focused care' or 'we had to adjust medication due to side effects']. Write a warm, empathetic letter that: explains the reason for the change in simple terms, reassures the family that the patient's comfort and dignity remain the priority, invites questions and ongoing communication, and uses a tone that is professional but caring. Avoid all medical jargon and write at a 6th-grade reading level. Keep the letter under 300 words.”
