Correct Answer:

At each life stage, individuals have different kinds of concerns regarding death. For example, terminally ill children tend to fear being abandoned or alone, so health care providers should allow family members to remain present at all times. Children also have some understanding of death, and the topic should not be avoided (as it is made more scary by doing so). Emerging adults who are terminally ill may first be saddened and shocked, and then seek to "live life to the fullest," so allowing for engagement as long as possible may be important. With adults, concern for others left behind is paramount; for older adults, anxiety about death has likely decreased.
