Life and Death Issues in Healthcare A Review of the Case Study HS101 Abstract There are many issues raised by life and death choices in healthcare. Advance directives are a set of directions you give about the healthcare you want if you ever lose the ability to make decisions for yourself. If you have a disease you can choose curative care which is directed at healing or curing the disease or palliative care which involves care that helps relieve the symptoms, but does not cure or treat then disease. When it becomes apparent that a patient is approaching the end of life, or that the patient no longer wants to prolong their life, a decision can be be made to withhold or withdraw treatment. Advance directive laws merely give doctors and others immunity if they follow it, the only reliable strategy is to discuss your values and wishes with your healthcare providers ahead of time to make sure they are clear about what you want.

To ensure we have an understanding of these preferences it is important we keep the lines of communication open. If both patient and carer work together they can achieve quality care. In some cases, a client may express preferences to their loved ones before they express them to their carer, so we must allow the family or loved ones to approach us and inform us of any requests. Impending death can be a powerful stimulus for client reflection on the significance of life and destiny.
