Question
- Jane has been assigned to care for Jessie Hibbs. Jessie has just been told there is nothing further anyone can do to treat her illness and that she will be referred to hospice. Jane knows that means she has a prognosis of death within 6 months period of time. Jane is bathing Jessie and asks her if she has contacted her church to talk with her pastor or priest. Jessie tells her that she does not belong to a church, and Jane asks her if she wants to have the hospital chaplain come to visit her. Jessie tells her, “No, I do not want to talk to the chaplain.” Jane persists saying that everyone who is approaching death wants to make things right with God. Jessie tells her that she does not believe in God and does not follow any religious faith. Jane ends the discussion by saying, “Oh, that’s too bad. I feel sorry for you.”
- How has Jane failed to be therapeutic with Jessie?
- How do you imagine Jessie felt about this conversation?
