END-OF-LIFE CARE AND SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE
Naturally, death and dying is also a biological change that occurs in later adulthood. As older adults age, they may experience diseases that impact their already vulnerable organ and immune systems such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, and cardiovascular issues. They may die painlessly at home surrounded by the support of many loved ones, or may suffer severe pain for months before dying in a health facility with little social support.
In either case, it is possible that many health and helping professionals interact with the dying person and their family. Social workers in particular play a key role, working to ensure that the individual’s wishes are honored and that the death is dignified.
For this Assignment, you examine the social worker’s role in the many aspects that accompany end-of-life planning and care.
TO PREPARE:
Review the Learning Resources on end-of-life care and social work, and reflect on the social worker’s role in end-of-life care and planning.
Search in the Walden Library for at least one additional peer-reviewed research article that addresses how a social worker might support clients as they plan end-of-life care.  
Submit a 3 page paper that analyzes the role of the social worker in helping to plan end-of-life care. Include possible consideration of palliative care, euthanasia, hospice care, the living will and advanced directives, and other factors.
Use the Learning Resources and at least one additional peer-reviewed research article to support your analysis. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.

You will identify a new advocacy issue that defines and discusses the importance of the issue, while including pertinent historical background.

Identify communication strategies that could mitigate negative consequences.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Has this new advocacy issue been identified before? If so, why was it unsuccessful? If not identified before, provide an analysis of why this new advocacy issue should be recommended for legislative action. What common factors might interfere with implementation of a new legislative policy? Describe the challenges of enacting policy that might impede the desired social change. How might social and political factors impact the newly identified legislation? What economic matters need to be considered before submitting this advocacy issue for legislation? Provide examples to support your assertions.
What legal or ethical issues might impact this newly identified legislation? How might beneficiaries be affected by the implementation of this legislation? Explain your answer and provide examples.
What communication strategies might be effective in educating beneficiaries who are impacted by the legislation? What political challenges might you experience when utilizing these communication strategies?

As you likely know from your own life, human relationships are complex. As such, social workers may find it difficult to keep these important interactions in mind when addressing an individual client’s needs. Several tools have been developed to assist in understanding and assessing relationships in the context of social work. One is an ecomap, which shows connections between the client or family and the social environment. Another is a genogram, which records the members of a family and their relationships, in much the same way as a family tree. Because it shows multiple generations, a genogram is useful in identifying, among other things, intergenerational trauma. Once a social worker creates a genogram for a client, they may refer to it when analyzing the client’s unique situation.
