Module 2 Discussion (NUR2790 Professional Nursing III Discussions)

Death and Dying

Discuss the term “clinical death,” especially with respect to when not to initiate CPR. Discuss what is meant by a “peaceful death” and a “good death,” including goals for End-Of-Life care. How would you feel if you knew your patients did not want CPR but the family insisted on it?

Triage

Triage involves the rapid assessment and prioritization of patients. Compare the three-tiered system of triage to the Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) triage philosophy. Imagine that you are the Triage Nurse during an MCI. How will you categorize the following patients using the MCI triage philosophy? Explain your answer. Are there any ethical issues that should be considered?

10-year-old boy with massive head injury, no spontaneous breathing, BP 60 palp

22-year-old female with a close fracture of the left arm

60-year-old male with a laceration in the leg complaining of shortness of breath

15-year-old girl with glass embedded in the eyes

52-year-old male with a pulse of 30 and a blood pressure of 70/30

For your response, do you agree with your classmates’ opinions? What would you urge them to consider when making the triage determination?

Death and Dying

Introduction

Death is a reality that we all must face at some point in our lives. We may not know exactly what happens after death, but there are many theories and beliefs about what happens after we die. Here are some of the most common beliefs about death and dying:

Resurrection

Resurrection is the belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. In Christianity, resurrection is a New Testament doctrine which holds that after death human beings are raised by God to new life. This concept is based on John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:35-58. A similar idea was expressed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:12-18, which says that everyone who believes in Christ will be resurrected on the final day (cf also Matthew 16:27).

Resurrection has been a central theme of Christian faith since its earliest days; however it was not until quite recent times that this belief developed into its modern form.[1] It was first preached to people around AD 80–90 during a time when Christians were persecuted under Roman emperor Domitian.[2]

Afterlife

The afterlife is the belief that the soul or spirit exists after death. The concept of an afterlife is often linked to the belief in an immortal soul, which may be reincarnated, and can be described as occurring in a transcendental realm. In many religions, hell is believed to exist for those who have committed immoral acts while alive; heaven may also be viewed as a place where people are rewarded for their good deeds.

Funeral

A funeral is a ceremony to commemorate the life of the deceased and share their stories. Funerals are times for family and friends to gather together, share stories about the deceased, remember them, and say goodbye.

A funeral might be held at a church or funeral home; it could also take place at home with family members present only if they wish (this would be called a private graveside service).

Mourning

Mourning is the process of grieving for the loss of a loved one. It’s different from grief, which is an emotional response to loss. Mourning involves more than just crying and feeling sad—it can take months or years before you’re ready to move on with your life again.

The stages of mourning are not always linear; they’re often interrupted by other emotions that might come up along the way: anger, guilt, regret…the list goes on! You may have one stage in which you feel very little or none at all; then suddenly another stage will hit and overwhelm you completely!

It’s important not only how much time passes between each stage but also why each stage happens when it does (for example: some people don’t reach out right away after losing someone).

Funerary practices

Funerary practices vary by culture. Some cultures observe a funeral as part of their religious beliefs, while others have secular funerals where the body is not present at all. The funeral is a time to remember the person who has died and to mourn their loss. It can also be a time for reflection, closure and reconciliation with those left behind.

The deceased may be buried or cremated; both options are common in different cultures around the world (and even within countries). Burial involves placing the body within an enclosed coffin or casket while it decomposes naturally until it dissolves completely into soil; this process may take several years depending on factors such as temperature and humidity levels at any given location where bodies are interred or exhumed after decomposition has occurred sufficiently enough that they no longer pose any threat (i).

An article about what happens after death.

In this article, we’ll talk about what happens after death. We’ll discuss the body, soul and spirit of you. You might be surprised by what actually happens to your body when you die. The soul is something that can’t be seen or touched but it’s still important to consider it as well because without one, there would be no life!

The spirit doesn’t leave your body but instead becomes part of something else entirely: God’s creation itself – an aspect of nature called nature spirits (or nixie).

Conclusion
