newborn and infant
this age group views death as reversible, avoidable, and occurring in degrees. They also view death as a long sleep.
toddler and preschooler
At about age 9 concept of death matures, and the child views death as irreversible, natural, universal, and inevitable. Adolescents are at risk for poorer outcomes than adults because of developmental crises
school age and adolescent
grieve more intensely for shorter periods of time.
- young adults are at risk for poor outcomes
- middle age adults typically cope well with loss, unless the death is untimely such as a child or spouse
- older adults are at higher risk than others for poor outcomes
Adults and older adults
grief that falls outside the normal response range and may be manifested at exaggerated grief, prolonged grief, or absence of grief.
-the person becomes stuck in one stage of the grief process
dysfunctional grief
- Shock phase
- Protest phase
- Disorginization phase
- Reorgingization phase
the grieving process
an irreversible cessation of heart-lung function, or whole-brain function, or of higher brain function
death
- blood pressure and heart rate decrease
- pale, cyanotic, jaundiced, or mottled skin
- weak thready, rapid, irregular pulse
- labored irregular breathing
- decreased urine output
- pain
- nonverbal
- solumnent
Physical signs of dying
focuses on relieving symptoms rather than supporting patients with a life expectancy of 6 months or less, rather than years, and the families
hospice
an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illnesses, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual
palliative care
- remove equipment
- remove unneeded items and clean, position, and cover the patient
- allow alone time for family
Post-mortem care
