PALL CARE

HUMANIZATION GOALS • Learn who the dying person is. Listen to his or her story. • Honor the dying person’s wishes. • Question preoccupation with complicated medical interventions that ignores the reality of death approaching. • Question inappropriate technology that is burdensome and futile. • Create a comforting person-centered environment for caring. • Insist on physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort. • Refuse to participate in the conspiracy of silence about dying. • Prevent isolation and abandonment of the dying. Encourage providers and loved ones to draw near
