{"title":"Hospice myths: what is hospice really about?","authors":"Tanya Rogers","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Hospice. The word alone can incite fear in those who hear it. Why? Often, when people hear the word \"hospice,\" certain images come to mind: a loved one in bed--a loved one dying without food or water--a loved one who is lacking skilled care. With these images also comes the ideology that hospice \"kills\" patients or \"starves\" them. Many people have the impression that once their loved one enters an acute hospice care facility, they will only leave by death. Many myths surround hospice. Families often have a preconceived negative notion of hospice, but when they experience the hospice philosophy and the interaction of the Hospice Interdisciplinary Team, those negative connotations are dispelled. In this article, prevalent hospice myths will be explored. The goal is to bring a clearer understanding of hospice care, and in turn, encourage readers to think about how they would want themselves, their families, and their patients to experience care at the end of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":76716,"journal":{"name":"The Pennsylvania nurse","volume":"64 4","pages":"4-7; quiz 7-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28723698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Understanding Pennsylvania living wills: the 5 Ws.","authors":"Linda L Pina","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The working world of nurses is often filled with deep-running emotions and physical exhaustion as we care for our dying patients. We feel the need to step back and gain perspective when faced with a dying patient, or more appropriately, a dying person. We must also keep in mind the family of the dying who may have similar feelings. It is nearly impossible to be a nurse and not have to care for a dying patient; thus, we often find ourselves dealing with living wills. The living will is the more common of the two forms of an advance directive; the other is the durable power of attorney for healthcare. Since living wills are so common, and laws about them vary from state-to-state, it is important for the professional nurse in Pennsylvania to understand how living wills work in our state. This may best be approached by considering the 5 Ws related to living wills.</p>","PeriodicalId":76716,"journal":{"name":"The Pennsylvania nurse","volume":"64 4","pages":"13-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28723704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
