Answer 1

Just as simple as stated. He wants to make sure he is in a good place. Wants the people taking care of him to actually care about him and pretty much treat him as family while at the same time maintaining profesionalism and using what they know to help him. He wants you to have patience in understanding what he needs or asks of you to do, and in the end, he wants you to feel like you have learned something and feel like you have helped him be as comfortabl and as happy as is possible for a person that is dying. You know kinda like if your mom was passing and asked you to do stuff you would do it even if you dont want to just because you will know when she passes she will be happy Hes not asking for much ;) Hope this helps

Answer 2

A dying patient has the same rights as any and all patients, which means that they have the right to expect to be cared for by competent people with their best interest at heart.
Way back when once a person was considered to be on their "death bed" so to speak they were pretty much written off by the medical profession and no longer truly considered a patient because they were beyond help. We have since broadened our minds to realize that these people deserve and are owed care which will help them through the dying process.
It would be unfair and unjust to place a person who is in the final time of their life in hands of caregivers who are not capable of adequately handling the dying process - and yes even educate medical people can be incompetent at handling death. They need people who can not only handle their medical needs, but also their spiritual and psycho-social needs as well, and that of their family.

My suggestion is that for your report you research Hospice. They have strongest background in the care of the terminal patient.

The following "Bill of Rights" was created at a workshop (The Terminally Ill Patient and the Helping Person) in Lansing Michigan, sponsored by the South Western Michigan Inservice Education Council and conducted by Amelia Barbus (1975), Associate Professor of Nursing, Wayne State University:

I have the right to be treated as a living human being until I die.

I have the right to maintain a sense of hopefulness however changing its focus may be.

I have the right to express my feelings and emotions about my approaching death in my own way.

I have the right to participate in decisions concerning my care.

I have the right to expect continuing medical and nursing attention even though cure goals must be changed to comfort goals.

I have the right not to die alone.

I have the right to be free from pain.

I have the right to have my questions answered honestly.

I have the right not to be deceived.

I have the right to have help from and for my family in accepting my death..

I have the right to die in peace and with dignity.

I have the right to retain my individuality and not be judged for my decisions which may be contrary to the beliefs of others.

I have the right to be cared for by caring, sensitive, knowledgeable people who will attempt to understand my needs and will be able to gain some satisfaction in helping me face my death.

You may want to read about Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who studied and wrote about dying. Although her "stages of death" are no longer accepted as valid, she was responsible for taking on the medical profession and its marginalization of dying patients and those who care for them. Western society had moved a long way away from venerating the old and accepting death as a part of living. Doctors and hospitals ignored the dying - after all, there was nothing that could be done for them, a slap in the face of people who struggled every day to keep death away from a patient. And a reminder of one's own inevitable end.

Another cause was the end of the extended family, especially in the US. People died with few family or friends around, alone and unattended unless an alarm went off, and even then it might take a long time for someone to go see what set the alarm off this time. You can still see this happening in any "long term care facility" or nursing home. Visit one. You'll learn a lot more than anyone can tell you about the reason for the dying person's bill of rights. Then visit a hospice - a special place for the dying, which was the practical response to the movement to make dying acceptable and worthy of dignity and acceptance. You'll see the difference.

Answer 4

i'm not a hundred percent sure but i think its like how people in nursing homes are taking care of by people. Or it could just mean that if your dying instead of staying in a hospital to die you can go home and be with your family as long as they take care of you.

Answer 5

You have no rights.. survival of the fittest. Work hard while you are healthy and accumulate wealth so hopefully you won't have to die like a scared dog alone.

We come into the world alone.. and we go out alone.

Making demands while you are dying doesn't have much power behind it...

Answer 6

HOSPIC is there, even in the low grade nusing I worked for, call them if you need help. They will help in home support also.
