Description
watch the film, write a summary paragraph of key highlights of one of the videos and then answer the questions below.
Questions: What are your thoughts on:
Temporary vs Life sustaining measures?
Quality of life vs. Quantity of life?
Is giving up instead of pursuing treatment an option?
Is stopping treatment missing out on life?
What is the importance of social support (family/friend/significant other/guardian/surrogate, etc.)?
How do the questions above contribute to Advanced Care Planning (Living Will, Healthcare Surrogate, treatment options and End-of-Life wishes, etc)?
Does the video you viewed address ethical principles (autonomy, beneficence, etc) and dilemmas? (The principles may be implied.)
What, if anything, would you have done differently?
Overall, how does this apply to Critical Care?
