Description:
This presentation provides several ways, tools and techniques whereby we can offer the terminally ill opportunities and choices in determining the course of their treatment and the course of their lives, showing how we can take simple, traditional caregiving forms and tasks and transform them in such ways as to offer our patients a sense of choice and control.

Objectives:

• Explain how the assessment process can emphasize patient control.
• Explain how care plans and other tools can emphasize patient control.
