In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters (年轻人) who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients—even when those patients are their parents. This deprives (剥夺) the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies (幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition, and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.
Five hundred critically ill patients were investigated with the main purpose of________.
选项
A、observing how they reacted to the crisis of death
B、helping them and their families overcome the fear of death
C、finding out their attitude towards the approach of death
D、learning how to best help them and their families
答案
D
解析
细节题。本题要求断定调查500个重病人的目的。依据文章第三段第一句“…in order to find out what they could teach us and how We could be of more benefit,not just to them but to the members of their families as well.……目的是搞明白他们能够给我们什么样的启示,以及我们该如何帮助他们本人和他们的家人。”可知D项符合题意,故为正确选项。
