Dying is much more than a medical "event". It is a time of emotions that may include fear, grief, joy, anger, reconciliation, forgiveness, and transformation for all involved. Fear of the unknown for the patient and family is only natural.
One of the fears the professional might face is the observation of the emotional and bodily changes of the patient as death approaches. The professional may not be prepared to provide the appropriate assessments and education that is expected by the patient and family. In the journey between living and dying, this is an emotional time during which the professional is needed for support, encouragement, and direction.
This course is designed for professionals with a desire to learn more about the physical and emotional signs of the terminally ill patient, including the expected sequence of changes. Included are teaching aids for communication with the patient and family as symptoms occur. (Show Less)
