Teaching Notes
I. The Experience of Death
This section introduces the different processes and definitions of death, including clinical, brain,
and social death. It also differentiates between hospice and hospital care, emphasizing the holistic
approach of hospice palliative care.
A. Death Itself
Learning Objective 19.1.1: Differentiate among the processes of clinical death, brain death,
and social death.
Clinical death refers to the period after the heart has stopped pumping, breathing has ceased, and
there is no evident brain function, but resuscitation is still possible. Brain death, or whole-brain
death, is the irreversible absence of brain function, including no reflexes or response to stimuli, and
no electrical activity in the brain. Social death occurs when the deceased person is treated as a
corpse by others, marking the beginning of the bereavement process for family and friends.
Critical Thinking Question: How do the definitions of clinical death, brain death, and social death
impact decisions regarding end-of-life care and organ donation?
Key Terms: clinical death, brain death, social death
B. End-of-Life Care
Learning Objective 19.1.2: Differentiate between hospice and hospital care for people who are
terminally ill.
