PEACEFUL END OF LIFEby Cornelia M. Ruland and Shirley M. MoorePresented by Jennifer Totten, Angela Baird, and Amy Howard Group 3 Nursing 324 Letter to organization: Dear Hospice organization, We would like to introduce ourselves today as advocators for the Peaceful End of Life Theory. Through our practice and research of theory we hope that your nursing organization will adopt this theory to your everyday nursing practice of terminally ill patients as we have. This theory can be used in all settings of Hospice care, where ever the patient or family chooses. This includes their home, nursing home , hospital, and inpatient hospice care facility. We will introduce you to the founders of the theory and give just a little background of their nursing career. So get comfortable and let us show you what we feel is the up and coming theory for your practice. This theory that will make you more knowledgeable about the complex care for the dying patient and how you can make it the best experience for the patient, significant other, and family during their peaceful end of life. Angela, Amy and Jennifer. The terminally ill patient has a illness that within 6 months or less are expected to die. The terminally ill patient no longer wishes to have procedures done on them in the hope of a cure. He/she has accepted the fact of their death and is preparing to die with the best experience for them, their significant other and family. With terminal patients the doctor does not focus on them, so it is up to the nurses to show knowledge about the dying process and symptom management. The nurse needs to know the complexity of taking care of a terminally ill patient and how they can contribute to a peaceful end of life. Theorists Cornelia M.
