    1. In addressing a group of older adults at a senior citizen center, what


    examples could you offer to support the benefits of developing an
    advance directive?

    As a nurse, I should educate the older adults’ right to self-determination, which


    includes cultural and spiritual values. I must be well educated in end-of-life care to
    ensure that patients are aware of their choices and the outcomes of their choices.
    Understand moral and ethical rights, as well as state and federal regulations
    governing end-of-life care, in order to do this. Through this, I am able to address
    patients' and family members' queries, as well as clarifying any confusing or
    conflicting information. Advance directive should begin with the first patient
    evaluation, with conversations continuing to refine and amend decisions
    throughout the hospitalization. Discussions on advanced directive focus on not
    only preparing for injury, death, or life-threatening disease, but also for possible
    disability. Such discussions should be in-depth in order to identify the patient's
    concerns regarding with their social, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds.

    2. What are the signs that death is near?


    No one can tell when a person will die. However, physicians and nurses who
    provide end-of-life care are aware that specific symptoms are often associated to
    the body's shutting down. The natural dying process produces several indicators
    of impending death. Aging is one of the definitive signs that a person is
    approaching death. People get old, become fragile, develop physical problems,
    and are more susceptible to illness or when a person is terminally ill, that are
    admitted to a hospital or receive palliative care.
