Assignment:

Case study:

Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could "be there" for her in her final moments. One friend came. The clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed a deep sense of caring for her. Mrs. Smith died with caring people at her bedside.
