Question
Maria is a 42-year-old woman who is dying from cancer. You are assigned to Maria. Her transition to hospice care has not been going well. Her chemo is no longer working, and she has been in increasingly more pain. Maria has three children ages 3, 5, and 8, and she tells you she cannot fathom what their lives will be like without their mother. Maria feels there are so many lessons that they have yet to learn. You find Maria frequently crying, and she tells you her children need her and she is not ready to go. Maria asks if you would help her to hire a videographer and get her all the materials she needs so she can “make a movie” for the kids. This idea is new to you.
Question:
What is your best response to Maria? a. “That is such a special idea. How would it feel for you to make this type of movie? Let’s talk about what you would require to get started.” b. “A movie? Aren’t they a little young to watch it?” c. “Maria, as your nurse I don’t think at this time you have the strength to take on a project like this. Do you have any other ideas?” d. “I’m not clear, Maria, how this would help you. Can you tell me how it would make you feel better to do all of this?

Explanation / Answer
physical and emotional effects of cancer will be different from patient to patient when they are ill..So as a nurse and hospice care giver we are responsible for patient needs and provide resources to help patients to deal with the emotions that come with depression,anxiety and fear..
a, As a nurse patient with hospice care we must meet patient emotional needs..Be as a good listener for patient..Maria idea about make a movie is a good idea..but making like a movie with maria illness will be little difficult..That too it is a big project for this movieclips with a videographer..
b,It is a movie as a small kids it is not the correct age to understand her thoughts but it will be useful forthem when they growup..
c, Not like a movie..maria can do this with laptop or Tab as a video clip..it is a easy idea for her to do..because in laptop video message she can talk alone what ever she want to talk with her children and lessons what they need to learn in future..
d, It will help for her children in future when they growup..Her morals and lessons will guide them whe nshe was not there anymore in the world..It can help maria for self satisfaction she left her thoughts and lesson for their children eventhough she dies..
