Listen attentively when the child speaks and wait for him or her to say the intended word. June Lunney and colleagues (Lunney, Lynn, & Hogan, 2002) used data from Medicare decedents and proposed the following four trajectories (Figure 2.1) as the most common patterns of illness progression: Figure 2.1 Proposed Trajectories of Dying. Entry-reentry deaths are used to describe persons whose illness trajectory is slower but they have periods of hospitalization and periods of better health. associated with congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary BMJ, 330, 1007-1011. As you can see in Figure 2.1, the patient remains at a high level of function until that sudden sharp decline before death. on death certificates do not currently offer a reasonable alternative approach Similarly, sex differences Decline Trajectory of decline Almost no evidence of decline.
