From the Paper:

"Regardless of the primary industry, all Human Service Programs have ethical responsibilities to employees, clients, and their respective communities. However, when the program's role is in providing care to the dying patient, as is the case in hospice organizations, understanding, implementing, and following ethical policies is even more important. Often many individuals entering the hospice services industry do not realize the stresses involved in the daily activities of the organization. The patients we see are atypical to those in traditional clinic, home care, and hospital environments. Our patients have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and have less than six months to live. This knowledge alone can be frightening to the new employee, and it is always heart breaking to the organization when the time comes to say goodbye."
