Case Study A 42 year old female patient has been
scheduled for a diagnostic laparoscopy to search for any pathology
causing her chronic pelvic pain. While in the preoperative holding
area, a registered nurse performed the nursing evaluation: checked
the patient's documentation, history and physical, allergies, and
special needs, while providing emotional support. The anesthesia
care provider reviewed the surgical steps and started an iv line.

into the OR. The patient notices a person in the OR wearing a
surgical gown, mask, gloves, hair cover, and protective eyewear;
this person is setting up a surgical instrument, equipment, and
supplies on a large table draped in blue material. This strange
looking person steps back from the table, turns to the patient, and

As we explored this week, late adulthood is a dynamic, rich time of life with many transitions and times of both growth and loss. One of the most profound experiences in late adulthood is that of death and dying – both our own death and the loss of loved ones. In our readings this week, we learned about how important cultural contexts are in understanding the death and dying process. As current/future healthcare professionals, having an understanding of how others process death and grief is key to being able to provide quality support and care. For our final assignment for this class, you will be reflecting on the following scenarios.
