The concept of death with dignity evolves over a nurse's career. A new nurse focuses on the patient as a person. As the nurse gains experience, she facilitates family grieving. As a seasoned professional, the nurse emphasizes the dignity that, through effective nursing, can be restored to dying. Preservation of dignity is found in the way we honor death.
尊严死的概念在护士的职业生涯中不断演变。新入职的护士关注患者本身。随着经验的积累,护士会帮助家属度过悲痛期。作为经验丰富的专业人士,护士强调通过有效的护理,可在临终时恢复尊严。尊严的维护体现在我们对待死亡的方式上。
