Assignment:
For this assignment, please answer the following questions in a short paper that is no less than two pages in length and is double spaced. Please be sure that any references or citations used are in APA format. After reading the Verhey essay, I want you to think about hospice programs as they currently exist in the U.S. Do you think they can be truly effective in caring for the dying? Can they fully attend to pain relief as well as psychological, social, and spiritual needs?
What I want you to consider most is if a generic spirituality in hospice can really be helpful, especially when compared to the Christian spirituality in hospice, which was built upon its convictions about Jesus Christ being raised from the dead.
