This has, by far, been one of the best and most informative course I've taken in our field. I appreciate the educator's apparent breadth of knowledge as well as ensuring it's clear to the listeners that this topic should be thought about and approached holistically, and support giving the person (patient) the most autonomy over the process. I am looking forward to learning more in parts 2 and 3.

The exam questions were not clearly answered in the course. Question 8 "all of the above" is not the correct answer. You can have a disability and NOT be 65 years of age to receive Medicare benefits. This question was misleading ("must be"). Further, question 5 was also difficult to answer as nausea and incontinence were also reported to be

The information was very interesting and useful. I do look forward to continuing the series, as I already went through this with my father, and soon will be addressing these issues for my mother who is now 100 years old. However, for this session, there was not enough discussion of the distinction and similarities between palliative care and hospice, especially to answer some of the test questions. Some of the test questions, #3, #5, were not covered in the presentation...only on the slide and in the question and answer session.

I found the descriptions of the symptoms exhibited during the dying process to be very useful. I also thought the comment about autonomy including the right to make what someone else might think is a bad decision is a central part of the concept of autonomy was something too often ignored.

This is a very important topic because there is a great need of awareness regarding EOL issues (instead of ignoring the inevitable).
