Answer the following questions. The completed assignment should be 3-4 pages in total length, and exhibit thoughtful consideration. APA format is not required.

1. As you watched the documentary, what impressions that you previously held about children living with chronic illnesses and the way they are treated by health care providers were challenged?
2. In an article titled “The Claire Wineland Message I Hope We Never Forget”, Janeil Whitworth wrote, “A societal impression exists that sick people don’t have happy, fulfilling lives because they are sick. Claire seemed to hate this notion as much as I do — it’s incredibly mistaken and damaging. She continually spoke about how pitying sick people disempowers them.” Do you see evidence of attitudes and beliefs within health care that do not support the idea that people with chronic illnesses can contribute to society?  How can health care providers empower children with chronic illnesses and their families?
3. In the documentary, Claire Wineland has a clearly established level of trust with her health care management team. What actions support a trusting relationship with healthcare providers, and which ones undermine it?
4. How can nurses contribute to a more equitable and comfortable environment for chronically ill children and adolescents?
5. What health care policies could be implemented to advocate for the chronically ill pediatric population? For more information on Pediatric Chronic Illness  read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_chronic_illness
