BEHS 380 Week 4 Communication and Choices<\/p>\n

Scenario 1: \u00a0Talking with a parent or grandparent about what their preferences are at the end of life.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When having a conversation with a grandparent about their preferences for the end of life, there are a few key questions you want to ask in order to ensure they are comfortable and have thought through their decisions (Kaye et al., 2018). Some of these questions might include: -What kind of care do you want in your final days? – Do you have any specific wishes for how you’d like to be treated or cared for? -Are there any places or people you would like to visit or see before you die? -Do you have any fears or concerns about death? -What would make you feel most at peace in the moments leading up to your death?<\/p>\n

There are some important things to keep in mind when talking with a grandparent about their preferences for the end of life<\/a>. First, it is important to be respectful and understanding of their wishes (Roscoe & Barrison, 2018). You may also want to ask them how they would like to be approached about this sensitive topic – some people prefer to have more of a direct conversation, while others may prefer to talk more generally about aging and death. I would enhance this communication by using effective techniques like reflective listening, which involves restating back what I have heard a grandparent say in my own words. This will help ensure that I understand their wishes correctly, and it will also show them that I am taking the time to listen and care about what they want.<\/p>\n

Before I can answer any questions my young relative may have about death, it is important to first ask them what they want to know.<\/p>\n
