In class assignment 2/22

1. I am interested in how end-of-life care is incorporated into public health as well as its effect on the loved ones of the person that is terminal. I’m also curious to see how income effects the availability of ideal end-of-life care situations.

Title: Moving the integration of palliative care from idea to practice

4. This article is basically a call-to-action. The author present was resources and ideas we have available to improve care for terminal people and say that there is a need. They point out that although some measures have been taken, we need to and can take more. The authors use the “borrowing technique” by siting many other sources in their article. They us the sources to support their claims that there is more we need to do and that we know what to do next. There isn’t really much illustrating being done because he doesn’t in my opinion really inforce the fact that this is a problem. Extending is used a little when they use their sources to try to prove that there is something that we could do that we aren’t.
