As we explored this week, late adulthood is a dynamic, rich time of life with many transitions and times of both growth and loss. One of the most profound experiences in late adulthood is that of death and dying both our own death and the loss of loved ones. In our readings this week, we learned about how important cultural contexts are in understanding the death and dying process. As current/future healthcare professionals, having an understanding of how others process death and grief is key to being able to provide quality support and care. For our final assignment for this class, you will be reflecting on the following scenarios.

Part I: Imagineyou are 77 years old. You have lived a happy, fulfilling life, but have recently learned you have terminal cancer and are reflecting on how you want to spend your last few months and what you would like for your final wishes. In 1-2 pages, describe what you would like this last chapter of your life to look like. Consider:

What is your cultural heritage? What cultural traditions do you or your family hold that would impact your dying process and last wishes? (i.e. Im Irish and my family and cultural heritage view death as a time to celebrate the life of a loved one with a long Irish wake, stories about our loved one, laughter, etc. We view funerals as a time to be very emotionally expressive about our loss).
How does your family communicate about or view death? What impact does communication with loved ones have on the death and dying process?
Part II: Imagineyou are a nurse, social worker, hospice volunteer or other healthcare professional working with a 77-year-old terminal cancer patient who is struggling with her end of life decisions. She is stoic and hard-working. Her culture values privacy and independence. She doesnt wish to burden her family and so changes the subject anytime her children try to broach the topic of her final wishes, taking care of her house/pets, her will, etc. She becomes uncomfortable anytime you or other care providers ask to discuss her wishes on things such as DNR orders, religious wishes, or final arrangements. Her children are concerned about her and are worried they dont know how to best fulfill her wishes and are imploring you to help. In 1-2 pages, consider:

How might your own views on death and dying impact your work with this patient?
How might you seek to guide or help this patient and her family through this time?
What cultural context might be at work here to consider?
Remember, as you reflect on these topics, connect your own experiences and ideas to the theory and research we are learning about in class, referencing your text and at least two other sources.

Suppose that a random sample of n = 5 was selected from the vineyard properties for sale in Sonoma County, California, in each of three years. The following data are consistent with summary information on price per acre for disease-resistant grape vineyards in Sonoma County.

In Excel, carry out an ANOVA to determine whether there is evidence to support the claim that the mean price per acre for vineyard land in Sonoma County was not the same for each of the three years considered. Test at the 0.05 level and at the 0.01 level.

Q1.       COVID-19 is a coronavirus that emerged in late 2019 and led to a pandemic that has claimed millions of lives. It has severe respiratory symptoms and can cause death in humans, similar to but not the same as the SARS virus. You are the HR Director of a large international airline in Canada with flights to many destinations. During Summer 2020, at the peak of the pandemic, a group of your flight attendants refused to work on flights, as they believe that the closed circulatory air system of the airplanes increases the chances of getting the virus and becoming ill.

a. Identify which health and safety legislation applies to this situation and explain whether flight attendants can refuse to work in this situation? (4 marks)

b. Briefly describe the procedures you will follow and the actions you will take after being notified of the flight attendants’ refusal to work. (3 marks)

c. Would you have given different answers to part a of this question if those refusing work were workers in a long-term care facility in Brampton, Ontario, and were concerned about the outbreak of COVID-19 as several of the elderly residents in the facility had tested positive for the coronavirus? Explain. (3 marks)

Q2.       Steven is a forklift driver at a major urban UPS processing facility in Scarborough, ON.
