Discuss what you want your loved ones to know about your illness, pain, dying process, etc. Can a loved one correctly describe how you would like to be treated in the case of a terminal illness? Why or why not?

This discussion board replaces in-class conversations/discussions and helps to build and develop professional skills. One of my former students who is now an executive director of a non-profit organization thanked me for pushing her to have these difficult conversations because it is a skill she now uses daily in her professional role.

Using the Discussion Board, respond to these questions with quality content dialog with your team.

Number your responses for ease of reading/grading/assessment.
