HLT 364 The Process of Dying
In this course, the student identifies and discusses factors affecting the dying individual and the responses of families and caregivers as they deal with the changes and events that occur with dying. This will be done within the context of age, gender, and cultural beliefs about death and grieving. The student will explore current economic and ethical issues related to dying as presented by the media, in literature, and in actual experiences. Health (HLT) courses count as nursing electives. The reason for the HLT prefix is to encourage non-nurses to participate in the courses, as the information is vital for everyone.
