Title: Discussion Forum Description: Module Five
Course: Health Care Language Arts > Section: Learning Modules

This discussion board is based on the questions in the fourth "Suggested Learning Activities" on page 200 in Introduction to Health Care. In a thoughtful and well-written post, you should respond to those questions, which are also listed below.

After you have made your initial post, read over your fellow students' posts. Think about what it would be like to be caring for anyone of these people at the end of their life. How would could you, as a health care professional, honor and respect the life that these people lived and also acknowledge and accomodate the people who care deeply for these individuals? Though you do not necessarily need to answer these questions in your posts, you should respond to at least two of your fellow students' descriptions of people they admire.

Questions:

Think of an older person that you currently know or have known that you admire.

1. What did you learn from this person? What was his/her attitude toward life?
2. Where does or did this person's strength of character come from?
3. What are some other reasons you admire this individual?
