Write a 750-1000 word paper about ideas about illness, aging, palliative vs. hospice care, and the provider’s role with respect to death and dying. How should a provider of palliative or hospice care be respectful of different cultural beliefs and the wishes of the patient and family? To help you write your article, you’ll need to do some research and find at least 3 articles about cultural differences related to serious illness, death and dying, the elderly, and the role of the family vs. health care providers in caring for the ill, elderly, and dying. Include the URLs of your sources. Consider these questions as you write your paper: 1. When someone in America has a serious illness (end stage cancer, end stage COPD or renal disease), what do family members and health care personnel do? How do they help the patient? 2. What is the role of the American family with respect to the elderly? Specifically, what would a child or grandchild be expected to do when a parent is no longer able to live alone or care for herself? 3. How do your cultural beliefs affect how you approach a dying patient and their families? Do you take part in a ritual, should you walk in on one (prayer over a dying patient’s bed)? 4. In your culture, what is your “expected” role supposed to be in relation to death and dying in your family?
