All of the following are consequences of population growth EXCEPT
 
  A) natural resources being depleted.
  B) animal habitats being destroyed.
  C) decreased availability of clean water.
  D) higher healthcare costs.



List five common physical and emotional responses that can be part of the typical grief process. Then explain the four tasks in Worden's model of the grief work process.
 
  What will be an ideal response?



Imagine that a family member has been diagnosed with cancer, has been told by her physicians that there is nothing more they can do, and has been offered hospice care.
 
  She tells you that she wants to register for hospice care, but that another relative is strongly opposed, and insists that the physicians are giving up too soon. What benefits of hospice care, for the patient and the family, could you share with your family members?
  What will be an ideal response?



Which of a person's wishes should be included in an advance directive and what steps should be taken to ensure that these wishes are carried out?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer: D

Answer: Students may mention any five of the following responses: insomnia, feelings of emptiness or muscular weakness, intense anxiety, sense of unreality, lapses in memory, loss of appetite, depression and social withdrawal, tightness in the throat or shortness of breath, feelings of guilt, difficulty concentrating, hostility, tendency to engage in purposeless behavior, difficulty in making decisions, preoccupation with the image of the deceased, and susceptibility to disease.
Worden's model includes the following four tasks:
1) Accept the reality of the loss.
2) Work through the pain of grief.
3) Adjust to an environment in which the deceased is missing.
4) Emotionally relocate the deceased and move on with life.

Answer: You could explain that hospice care is provided under the direction of a qualified physician, and that the care will focus on reducing your family member's pain and discomfort, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You could also share that hospice will help the patient and all of your family members feel more in control of the experience, will provide emotional support to the patient and family, and will continue to support the family through the bereavement period, potentially increasing the survivors' ability to cope with the loss.

Answer: Wishes that should be addressed include:
 Who should be allowed to make health care decisions for you when you can't make them yourself (naming a proxy through legal document).
 Specific instructions in regard to feeding and the medical treatment you want and don't want.
 How comfortable you want to be in regard to the administration of pain medication.
 Information that your loved ones need to know about your preferences for care.

To ensure these wishes are carried out, you should be specific; appoint an agent (durable power of attorney), discuss your wishes with your agent and your doctor, and distribute copies to pertinent individuals (such as agent, doctor, attorney, and family members).
