Hospice

According to the US Census Bureau, the estimated mean annual wage for a registered nurse as of May 2008, is $65,130. This amounts to $31.31 an hour. Some earn more depending on experience, some entry level nurses may make less. It also depends on the institution and location of where a nurse works.

Yes, a LPN can legally administer narcotics to a hospice patient.

A hospice is a place where people who have a terminal (fatal) illness can find respite care during their illness and then return home. If they can't go home, they have to go to a nursing home. They may well be under the care of the Hospice for a long time but most of that care will be in their own home via MacMillan Nurses (who are usually employed by the hospice) or in day-care. Some are places where people will go for the final stages of the illness. The hospice movement specialises in pain control and the aim of the hospice movement is to give people with painful and terminal diseases the best possible quality of life.

While a person in hospice is not expected to live more than six months, there is no expiration of his term under hospice care. It can last well over a year. And sometimes people go in and out of hospice care.

Again, hospice is not a place, but rather a term to describe the type of care that is received by such patients. There are hospice facilities, hospice care wards within a nursing home or or hospital; and hospice care staff who provide hospice care in a patient's home or other location.

No; hospice is chronic.

Religious people often support the hospice movement because it aligns with their values of compassion, dignity, and the sanctity of life. Many faith traditions emphasize caring for the sick and comforting the dying, viewing hospice care as a way to honor the spiritual and emotional needs of individuals in their final stages of life. Additionally, hospice provides a holistic approach to end-of-life care that resonates with religious beliefs about the importance of community, love, and support during this critical time.

Unfortunately this has nothing to do with Hospice itself. These are the guidelines that the insurance companies set. As unfortunate as it is and as bad as it sounds, they do it because hospice care is quite costly.

The goals included making dependence on welfare a last resort, making child support payments a first resort, and creating a system through which low-income families could improve their circumstances permanently by preparing for and engaging in meaningful employment

The Family Support Act is divided into to five sections known as titles. Title I includes changes to the federal child support enforcement program that are to increase the number of eligible children's rewards; providing guidelines for establishing the rewards; and finally strengthening the means by which debts are collected from parents. Title II mandates states to implement "a welfare-to-work training and employment program (JOBS) and is subject to a number of exceptions including mandating that all AFDC recipients participate" (Wiseman, 1991). Title III provides supportive services for recipients of JOBS and their families such as extending childcare and eligibility for Medicaid for those leaving the AFDC rolls of employment. Title IV mandates inclusion of the AFDC-Unemployed Parents (AFDC-UP) program, which allows states to include two-parent families with children to obtain federally subsidized AFDC benefits if the father was involuntarily unemployed (Wiseman, 1991). Lastly, Title V authorizes a series of demonstration projects.

Normally deep wounds are packed with packing gauze, which is laced with medication that helps heal wounds.

The six stages in the end of life pathway typically include: 1) Recognition of the dying phase, where healthcare providers identify that a patient is nearing the end of life; 2) Assessment, which involves evaluating the patient's needs and preferences; 3) Care planning to ensure appropriate support and symptom management; 4) Implementation of care, focusing on comfort and quality of life; 5) Ongoing communication with the patient and family; and 6) Support for bereavement, providing assistance to loved ones after the patient's passing. These stages aim to provide compassionate and holistic care during the end-of-life experience.

Hospices were made as a final residence for people who were diagnosed with terminal illnesses.

It depends. If you are dying of an illness, they last 12 hours. However, if you are drowning, it shuts down immediately and only lasts 3 to 8 seconds.

well, if it happened, it's obviously possible! your mom is a lucky person..=)

You can refuse treatment and have a DNR do not resuscitate, a living will should take care of it, stating what treatment you want or will accept, but the hospital does not have to honor it. The only place you can legally choose to die is in the states of Washington and Oregon.

ummm, no. You cannot "choose" to die in a hospital. If the hospital is actively treating you either for curative or palliative reasons, the physician/hosptial believes you are benefiting from treatment, and/or transporting you home or a facility is negligent or harmful-( and your insurance agrees or you have the means to pay for it yourself) you can likely remain in the hospital if you so desire. If the above criteria (obviously not hard and fast criteria) are not somewhat met, it is likely that a hospital will discharge you to home or a nursing facility so that they may care for acutely ill patients. A DNR/living will/advanced directive has no influence at all on where you must or get to die. It just means, when you do head that direction, you don't want anyone to intervene. A DNR- regardless of the patient's wishes- must be revoked during operative procedures, and in many times, can be overriden by the patient's family during an acute episode in an inpatient setting.

According to the fiscal intermediatary (such as NHIC, Palmetto, etd) of the hospice organization you will find LCD (Licensed Coverage Determination) guidlines which outline the criteria that the patient must meet in order to qualify for hospice services under a particular diagnosis. Under the general guidelines for most fiscal intermediataries the diagnosis or Dementia outlines the patient should present with the following: - Stage 7 or beyound according to the FAST (Functional Assessment Standarized Test) scale, No consistently meaningful verbal communication - 6 or less intelligible words, unable to ambulate without assistance, etc...

When the individual meets this criteria it would support the overall recognition that should the Dementia disease process run its normal course the individual would have the life expectancy of 6 months or less. It is important for the medical team caring for individuals with Dementia diagnosis who are seeking hospice intervention to review all of the patient's diagnosis to determine if Dementia is the most appropriate hospice diagnosis.
