1.Glenda:
The human race has been dealing with the truth of mortality throughout history. There have been people in our world who have formulated death as a part of the known universe theological construct. All faiths and traditions include ceremonies, prayers, and values relating to death and what those left behind are expected to do when someone indispensable dies. Both cultures, communities, and faiths have had. They remain to have several rituals that help those currently alive to expect, adapt to, and in certain respects honor the individual who is dying, both during the dead instance and after death has resulted (Slominski, 2020). Much has been published on the topic and based on where one works as a physician. Certain conditions can be more frequent or strenuous than others. Patient Death Wishes Responses
Death is synonymous with ceremonies and customs in every society to assist in the mourning process. People may use rituals to manage and convey their sorrow. They also have forms for the bereaved to get help from the government (Breen, 2020). After a death, a grieving person goes through a time of grieving and mourning. Death can be a source of chaos and perplexity. Traditions and customs provide routine and normalcy. They have a series of guidelines that aid in the organization of the period leading up to death. They also steer a person’s roles at this time.

Cultures differ in their grieving and dying traditions, which are frequently inspired by religion (Gordon, 2015). The length, frequency, and severity of the grieving process may also differ depending on how it is expressed, as well as personal and cultural beliefs. Death, according to Buddhist philosophy, is a chance for growth in the next life (Gordon, 2015). To die in a way that is not painful. The deceased’s rebirth is aided by a favorable state of mind and being surrounded by monks and relatives. On a more advanced level When a Hindu dies, his or her body is washed, rubbed with oils, and clothed in fresh clothes, and then burned before the following sunrise to help the soul make the journey from this world to the next (Gordon, 2015). Latino death rites are described as being significantly inspired by Catholic beliefs, in which spirituality is highly valued and a living-dead link is maintained via prayer and visits to the cemetery. The culture has a significant impact on the mourning process. Faith and spirituality play an important part in how people perceive and respond to death, and this might vary by culture. Every culture has its own ideas about death, therefore it’s critical for healthcare personnel to understand the beliefs and rituals they conduct when caring for patients who are dying. This will help them provide better end-of-life care.

One of life’s most distinctive events is death. Clinicians have the unique opportunity to meet people at a time when they are experiencing a crisis in their life and give competent support. The cultural background, religion, traditions, and family unit all influence a person’s attitude toward death and mourning. Always keep in mind that each culture has its own peculiarities, which may be addressed by having a thorough conversation with the patient and his or her family. How your patient sees disease and makes health decisions is also influenced by their birth area, education, and economic level. The Hindu culture is one that I am always interested in learning more about. I opted to pick them since their religious beliefs and overall culture fascinate me. Hindus believe in either a “good death” or a “bad death.”, as well as the transition into the afterlife, maybe a good or bad rebirth (Sharma et al., 2013). The Hindu religion is based on the belief that when a person is dying, they have the option of refusing medicines or anything else that could cause them to change their minds. or physical pain tolerance, so that when they die, they do so with a clear and unclouded mind, as well as a clear and unclouded body. Because of the anguish, they were experiencing, it appeared as though they were cleansing their sin. As a result, many families think that their loved one should die at home rather than in a hospital, thereby avoiding medical care (Sharma et al., 2013).
To utilize Ray’s Transcultural Communicative spiritual-ethical care technique, I would first try to grasp their culture and the beliefs that underlie their views on dying. Make sure they realize the significance of obtaining therapy even if they are towards the end of life in order to improve the quality of life they have lived, whether it is long or short (Whithers & Sell, 2017). Try to offer them counsel and information about what could happen if they don’t get rid of the sickness. Make an effort to persuade the client of the necessity of getting medicine and how it would enhance his or her quality of life. When talking and trying to encourage the client to undergo therapy, create a comfortable environment for them while trying to respect their views. Even in their final moments, no one should be exposed to agony and suffering (Whithers & Sell, 2017). No matter what stage of life they are in, everyone should enjoy the highest possible quality of life. Some civilizations expose their people to life-threatening circumstances. As healthcare professionals, we must fight for the highest quality of life while still attempting to respect the people’s culture. Patient Death Wishes Responses

The culture of a Chinese individual who is mourning the loss of a loved one, and going through the process of the death ritual would be wearing all white. Unlike in the West, where it is all black, white is the color of mourning in China (Bryant, 2021). Although funeral rituals vary according to the age and status of the deceased individual, the mourning period for a Buddhist can actually go on for 100 days (Bryant, 2021). These rituals are very elaborate, and the family may even hire professional wailers, as it is believed that young children in China no longer know how to show emotion appropriately (Bryant, 2021).
Using Ray’s Transcultural Communicative Spiritual-Ethical CARING Tool, I would adapt my nursing care in this culturally dynamic situation by being compassionate for the patient and family with their death and dying rituals, and advocating for them with how they wanted to perform their rituals (Ray, 2016). I would respect their space, and also limit my interactions while the ritual is actively going on (Ray, 2016). I would negotiate with the health care team in order to reserve time for the family to perform the ritual, and provide any guidance necessary during this time (Ray, 2016).

As we learned in our Chapter six readings, there are many tools for transcultural caring inquiry and assessment that can be utilized (Ray, 2018). Those tools are the Transcultural Caring Dynamics Tool, Rays Transcultural Communicative Spiritual-Ethical CARING Tool for Culturally Competent Practice, Transcultural Culture-Value Conflict Assessment Tool, Negotiation Tools, Dynamics of Transcultural Caring for Choice Tool, and Transcultural Caring Negotiation Tool (Ray, 2018).
Rays Transcultural Communicative Spiritual-Ethical CARING Tool can guide the healthcare provider in culturally competent care (Ray, 2018). CARING is an acronym for compassion, advocacy, respect, interaction, negotiation, and guidance (Ray, 2018). If I were caring for someone of the native American culture, I would show compassion and respect for the dying individual’s loved ones whether they choose to stay with the dying individual or not be present as beliefs vary (Lowey, 2020 & Axley et al., 2016). I would show respect for the dying individual and ask their preferences on organ donation, which is not preferred in their culture (Lowey, 2020 & Axley et al., 2016). I would practice advocacy for their specific tribal beliefs through interactions by asking questions about their beliefs and wants and sharing these requests with other health care providers caring for them so they too could honor them (Lowey, 2020 & Axley et al., 2016). Negotiation and advocacy would be practiced while formulating a care plan with the dying patient that supports not choosing organ donation or autopsy (Lowey, 2020 & Axley et al., 2016). These often are not preferred actions, making sure to keep their comfort and beliefs (Lowey, 2020 & Axley et al., 2016). Guidance and support would be offered to the family when tending to their deceased loved one related to the body’s preparation as this may be one of their rituals practiced (Lowey, 2020 & Axley et al., 2016). Additionally, I would openly and attentively listen and follow the dying patient and loved one’s lead as the dying process plays out and hope to meet their expectations and facilitate death and dying in the most important, sacred, and comforting way to them.
