Dying is not a pathology. Much of the reason we find ourselves in ethical dilemmas and confusion regarding prognostication is a discomfort with death as a society. This can be partly attributed to the influence of Western Medicine. In this course, learners will:

• Review the description of typical trajectories to death
• Understand the physiology and signs of a natural death
• Recognize barriers to recognizing someone is dying

Continuing Education: Learners can earn a maximum of 0.75 NCPD Contact Hours upon completion of the course. This course is available until: 9/30/2026.

Speaker: Rebecca Gagne-Henderson PhD, APRN, ACHPN^®, FNP
