Hospice, Palliative Care Nurses, Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow/STTI:"The hospice movement has evolved in the United States over the past 25 years. The focus of hospice care is on comprehensive physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual care to terminally ill persons and their families. Hospice providers promote quality of life by protecting patients from burdensome interventions and providing care at home, whenever possibly, instead of the hospital. Hospice nurses provide care primarily under the guidelines of the Medicare Benefit Act of 1983, a federal program that allows patients to die in their homes with their families and friends at their side."

Opioid-related Overdose Deaths Are a National Epidemic
A report on the increase in unintentional drug overdoses emphasizes the role of nonmedical opioid abuse, but also says physicians share some blame.
A recently released report authored by experts from the CDC, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, and Duke University Medical Center shows that in 40% of US states, unintentional drug overdoses kill more people than motor vehicle accidents and suicides.
Calling this trend a “national epidemic,” the authors of the report, published on the website of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, wrote that one potential contributor to the dramatic increase in unintentional overdose deaths in the US in the last two decades is that “psychiatrists and many primary care physicians might not be familiar with existing evidence-based guidelines for opioid prescribing or with programs designed to reduce the abuse of prescription drugs such as state prescription drug monitoring programs.”
A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine news release accompanying the publication of the report noted that prescription opioid pain medications “are driving this overdose epidemic,” with data showing that in 2007 “unintentional deaths due to prescription opioid pain killers were involved in more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.”

More senior citizens are dying at home - Miami-Dade - MiamiHerald.com
By John Dorschner
jdorschner@MiamiHerald.com
After years of experts and patients saying people at the end of life might be more comfortable dying at home, a new study says that may finally be happening: fewer seniors in the United States and South Florida are dying in hospitals.
But the same survey finds that in the last months of life for seniors throughout the United States and especially in Miami, the trend is for more of them to see large numbers of specialists and to spend more time in expensive intensive care units.
Those are the results of the latest study from the Dartmouth Atlas, a project of the Dartmouth Medical School. The project for years has been using Medicare data to expose anomalies in healthcare costs and wide geographic disparities in expenses.
“Miami is practically off the charts,” says David Goodman, a Dartmouth researcher who was the lead author of the study. “It really continues to stand out” for having the highest costs and most extensive treatments in the last months of life, even when adjusted for age, ethnicity, race and severity of illness.

A Good Death | What is a Good Death? | Getting Affairs in Order
Practical ways to help to ensure a "good death"
Poets, professors, priests, and plain folks all opine about what makes a "good death." In truth, deaths are nearly as unique as the lives that came before them -- shaped by the attitudes, physical conditions, medical treatments, and mix of people involved.
Still, many have pointed to a few common factors that can help a death seem good -- and even inspiring -- as opposed to frightening, sad, or tortuous. By most standards, a good death is one in which a person dies on his own terms, relatively free from pain, in a supported and dignified setting. Other things to consider:
Having affairs in order
Not everyone has the luxury of planning for death. But those who take the time and make the effort to think about their deaths during life and plan for some of the details of their final care and comfort are more apt to retain some control and say-so in their final months and days of life.
Legal specifics of such planning can include taking steps to get affairs in order by:
Having an estate plan, with a will, trust, or other arrangement that sets out who gets property and how it should be divided.
Specifying final medical care in an advance directive.
Indicating preferences for a funeral or memorial service. Psychological preparation includes talking about an impending death with caregivers, family members, and others.
Controlling pain and discomfort
Most Americans say they would prefer to die at home, according to recent polls. Yet the reality is that three-quarters of the population dies in some sort of medical institution, many of them after spending time in an intensive care unit.
As life expectancies increase, more people are becoming proactive. A growing number of aging patients are choosing not to have life-prolonging treatments that might ultimately increase pain and suffering -- such as invasive surgery or dialysis -- and deciding instead to have comfort or palliative care through hospice in their final days.

Dealing with Death and Dying | Myths of Coping with Death | Caring.com
By Paula Spencer, Caring.com senior editor
People often adhere to a code of conduct about the end of life that's just not rooted in common sense or reality -- especially when it comes to how to talk to someone who's dying, in their final days or hours. Hospice nurse Maggie Callanan, who has attended more than 2,000 deaths, wrote her book Final Journeys: A Practical Guide for Bringing Care and Comfort at the End of Life in order to take on these myths:
Myth: Don't cry in front of the dying.
They know you're sad. Having the courage to bare your emotions gives the dying person permission to be candid about his or her own feelings. Your tears are evidence of your love. And they can also be a relief to the person, telegraphing that you understand what's happening.Myth: Keep the children away.
People often steer kids away from death so they'll remember the person in a good light and not be frightened. But most kids do well with simple explanations of what's happening; facts are usually less scary than their vivid imaginations. By cordoning off a child from a natural part of life, you also deprive the dying person of a beloved, comforting presence.

Summary: Organ donors are in high demand. Frequently intended recipients can wait a lifetime for the critical matching organ. In this case, two nurses obtained a consent from a child's mother. When the father later expressed his disagreement, the child's corneas had been harvested and it was too late.
The patient was an 11-year-old child that had died soon after an Asthma attack.
"By condition (excluding pregnancy), the five leading causes of hospitalization among children are: bronchitis/asthma, digestive disease, pneumonia and respiratory infection, otitis media and mental disorders."1
The parents were approached for the purpose of donating the child's corneas under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act.
"What is a Corneal Transplant?
The cornea is a dime-sized clear tissue covering the front of the eye. Light rays pass through the cornea and then through the lens. The lens forms an image on the retina in the back of the eye where the optic nerve is located. Sight is controlled by the optic nerve, the only nerve of vision. This nerve activates the retina to pick up the image in view."2
The mother alone was present at this time when it was first discussed.
"The child's mother maintains that she told the nurse it "did not matter" to her."3
"The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) of 1968 provided for the first time that an individual could donate his or her organs at death to another for medical purposes. It was adopted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and was a major step toward solving the organ donation problem. But new medical technologies have now made many transplant operations commonplace, and a shortage of donor organs remains."4
With this, the harvesting center was contacted and the patient's information left. A consent form was faxed over to the hospital. Two nurses then spoke to the mother by telephone and signed off on the form that consent had been obtained.
Individual state laws may vary in procedure for who can consent to an anatomical gift. In Alaska for instance:
"(a) A competent person who is 18 or more years of age may make a gift to take effect upon death of all or a part of the person's body for a purpose specified in AS 13.50.020.
(b) When persons in prior classes are not available at the time of death, and in the absence of actual notice of contrary indications by the decedent or actual notice of opposition by a member of the same or a prior class, any of the following persons, in order of priority listed, may give all or a part of the decedent's body for a purpose specified in AS 13.50.020:
(1) the spouse;
(2) an adult son or daughter;
(3) either parent;
(4) an adult brother or sister;
(5) a guardian of the decedent at the time of death;
(6) any other person authorized or under obligation to dispose of the body.
(c) The persons authorized by (b) of this section may make the gift after or immediately before death."5The agent for the organ center came and harvested the child's corneas and returned to the center. He had looked over the consent form obtained, initialed it to verify it had been obtained by phone and was satisfied.
"When the cornea, a thin tissue that covers the front of the eye, becomes cloudy or damaged due to disease, injury or hereditary conditions, the result is vision loss or even blindness.
To clear this window, the damaged cornea is removed surgically and replaced with healthy, transplanted eye tissue-a donated cornea. This transplant operation is successful in more than 90 percent of cases in the US. After a successful transplant, patients have renewed vision or see for the first time."6
Each individual facility must generate protocols on organ procurement and obtaining informed consent:
"Each hospital in the state shall develop procedures for identifying potential donors of gifts, requesting gifts, notifying and coordinating with eye banks, tissue banks, and organ procurement agencies, and assisting in the procurement, removal, storage, and transportation of gifts."7
The child's father would arrive on the scene soon after. When approached and informed of the harvesting, he was perturbed. He would not sign the consent after the fact and chose to take legal action against the hospital and the donor center.
In court, summary judgement was entered for the defense:
The parent's appealed.
Questions to be answered:
1. Under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA), is the consent of a parent sufficient to proceed with harvesting of a child's organs.
2. Were the nurses negligent in their explanation of the procedure or in not waiting till the father was available?
The applicable laws stated that as long as a consent from a legally "responsible" and informed party is obtained, no liability or negligence can be assigned. It was clear from the testimony of the nurses that they spoke to the mother and informed her of what was to happen.
In obtaining organs, time is typically of the essence. The longer an organ or tissues remains in a body, the less likely it will be useful for the purposes of transplantation.
There was no evidence that the mother was either "coerced" or "rushed" into making a decision. There was no documentation that she "wished to speak to her husband" before making the decision. If more time had been needed or another family member needed to be consulted, the mother could have clearly stated this.
On the part of the nurses, a single adult guardian consent only was needed and obtained.
When the agent of the eye bank looked over the informed consent, he as satisfied that it was legitimate. In harvesting the child's corneas, he acted in good faith and had no reason to believe a proper consent had not been obtained.
The court dismissed the plaintiff's argument that the "good faith" actions of the hospital or eyebank were "subject to interpretation." The court was satisfied that under the conditions, the actions of the employees were reasonable and within the boundaries of existing law.
This case does point out the need for judgement and clear documentation when a consent for organ donation is obtained. The nurses were wise to obtain not one but two witness signatures on the consent form. The agent of the eye bank was wise to make sure the notation was made of a "telephone" consent.
Regardless of these precautions, the nurses, hospital and eyebank were still sued. Had this lawsuit been initiated after either of the employees involved had left, the hospital may or may not have covered or defended them.

Quality of Death and Dying in Patients who Request Physician-Assisted Death - Journal of Palliative Medicine
Background: Physician-assisted death (PAD) was legalized in 1997 by Oregon's Death with Dignity Act (ODDA). Through 2009, 460 Oregonians have died by lethal prescription under the ODDA.
Objective: To determine whether there was a difference in the quality of the dying experience, from the perspective of family members, between 52 Oregonians who received lethal prescriptions, 34 who requested but did not receive lethal prescriptions, and 63 who did not pursue PAD.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Measurements: Family members retrospectively rated the dying experience of their loved one with the 33 item Quality of Death and Dying Questionnaire (QODD).

Faith Friends by Nancy Haygood, Hospice Poems, Stories of Death and Dignity
ShareThis Buzz up!9 votes To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com
I don’t want to say goodbye
Don’t want you to see me cry
But in the end, that sweet by and by
We will meet again.You remind me, Lee, of me
A bound-up soul, set free
Life struggles overcome
A chance to bask in the sun.All too short, this life seems
But in not-so-distant dreams
We know this fading world
Is but a path to the King.Our King, He came, like me
In humanness, to be
Then hung upon that tree
To set us free.He knew hot tears and cool springs
The love that friendship brings
Now he hears angels sing
So will we.You and I,
We’ve known sweet-smelling children, rough-bearded men
Giggles with girlfriends, aloneness, amends,
Fear beyond reason, and joy in its season
Love is the reason. Amen.-- Nancy Haygood, © 2006

This American Death: The Movie
How has the pursuit of a good or natural death been altered by advances in medical technology which now can almost always extend life, if only for a few minutes, hours or days? Who does not question their Do Not Resuscitate order with death staring them in the face? How can doctors be expected to manage death when they receive so little end-of-life training? And where can a person go to die in peace, if they have no family and do not want to endure hospital procedures?
This American Death explores the complicated world of death and dying in contemporary America, examining the cultural and systemic issues which conspire against Americans experiencing a so-called good death. Despite the consensus that exists among Americans about how they wish to die - surrounded by loved ones, pain free and relatively unaided by technology - why do so many still die in hospitals, in pain, supported by machines? The film looks at why, when a good death is seemingly achievable, few actually experience one?
