In this assignment, students discussed end-of-life wishes with another, completed an advance directive, and processed their experience. Students made gains in three areas: awareness of others’ perspectives, recognition of culture’s influence on end-of-life decisions, and the role of information in empowering patients and families. Students also made gains in the affective skill of empathy.27 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
