He is 88 years old and his family has been informed by the primary care provider that he may not recover. Mr. J. is Hispanic, and he typically has several members of his family at his bedside day and night. The patient across the hall, Mrs. M, is complaining that the amount of people visiting Mr. J is interfering with her rest.
