A student visits a privately funded house where hospice care is provided. He learns that, in addition to the nurse on duty, a staff of volunteers comes around the clock to work
When the student asks the volunteer, "Isn't this depressing—how can you do this?" what do you think the volunteer might say in response? What are two benefits of hospice?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Volunteers might say that they are happy to be able to help family members at a time when they most need it and they are glad to help the person die with dignity. They might also say that dying is a natural process and it should occur in a tranquil setting rather than in the hurried, sterile institutional setting of a hospital. Benefits of hospice include better long-term psychological functioning of family members and a more positive experience for both the dying person and their families. It is also less expensive.
