- Case Study
The hospice nurse sat with Ann's husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room's only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann's bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. "She would ride like the wind was chasing her." Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears "Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling." Ben turned "Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie's husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night." Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann's lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

Actualize Parse’s Theory
One of the hospice nurse’s duties and obligations is to comprehend the patient beyond his
or her medical conditions, including preparing them for the end-life period. To realize this
theory, the nurse would have design a plan to ensure care for her patient. Moreover, the nurse has
to provide guidance to the patient’s family through theory’s three stages, including meaning,
rhythmicity, as well as transcendence. In this sense, Parse’s explanation of the transcendence
stage remains important, especially in informing the nurse as Ben confronts his wife’s death
reality. As such the nurse should accomplish this transcendence stage through comforting Ben
for the loss of his family, particularly being there for him and helping Ben with anything that he
might require. For instance, Ben might need a chapel, and therefore, ensuring that the nurse is
able to offer this to Ben would be an important step.
Ann was aware that her priority was her family. As such, the nurse should assist Ann to
transcend to another life by helping her family understand her death. In this way, the nurse has to
assist Ben to accept this transformative process and reach the aspects that Ann cherished in her
life, caring for family and work. Apart from focusing on Ann’s death, the nurse must also be able
to take Ben through the overall perspective and terms of his wife’s demise. In some way, Ben’s
experiences in this situation have become an...
