The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. LOSS
The fact or process of losing something or someone.
-oxford dictionary
DEFINITION-
Loss can be defined as the undesired change or removal of a valued object ,person or
situation.
Unrecoverable and usually unanticipated and non- recurring removal of, or decrease in,
an asset or resource.
3. GRIEF
GRIEF IS THE PHYSICAL ,PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL RESPONSES TO
LOSS.
4. TYPES OF GRIEF
1. Normal grief
• e.g.; crying, sorrow ,anger
2. Anticipatory grief
• process of disengaging or letting go that occurs before an actual loss of death has
occurred
3. Complicated grief
• difficulty in progressing through normal process of grieving
4. Delayed grief
• Delayed grief is when reactions and emotions in response to a death are postponed
until a later time.
5. 5. Chronic grief
• This type of grief can be experienced in many ways: through feelings of hopelessness,
a sense of disbelief that the loss is real, avoidance of any situation that may remind
someone of the loss, or loss of meaning and value in a belief system.
• At times, people with chronic grief can experience intrusive thoughts.
• If left untreated, chronic grief can develop into severe clinical depression, suicidal or
self-harming thoughts, and even substance abuse.

•Psychological perspectives of loss and grief
•Socioeconomic status
•Personal relationships
•Nature of loss
•Amount of support for bereaved
•Culture and ethnicity
•Spiritual beliefs
9. Stages of grief
1. Denial and Isolation
-The first reaction to learning of terminal illness or death of a cherished loved one is to
deny the reality of the situation.
-It is a normal reaction to rationalize overwhelming emotions.
-It is a defense mechanism that buffers the immediate shock.
-We block out the words and hide from the facts. This is a temporary response that
carries us through the first wave of pain.
10. 2. Anger
-As the masking effects of denial and isolation begin to wear, reality and its pain re-
emerge. We are not ready.
-The intense emotion is deflected from our vulnerable core, redirected and expressed
instead as anger.
-The anger may be aimed at inanimate objects, complete strangers, friends or family.
-Anger may be directed at our dying or deceased loved one. Rationally, we know the
person is not to be blamed.
11. 3. Bargaining
-The normal reaction to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability is often a need to
regain control.
-If only we had sought medical attention sooner.
-If only we got a second opinion from another doctor.
-If only we had tried to be a better person toward them.
-Secretly, we may make a deal with God or our higher power in an attempt to postpone
the inevitable. This is a weaker line of defense to protect us from the painful reality.
12. 4. Depression
-Two types of depression are associated with mourning.
-The first one is a reaction to practical implications relating to the loss. Sadness and
regret predominate this type of depression.
-This phase may be eased by simple clarification and reassurance. We may need a bit of
helpful cooperation and a few kind words.
-The second type of depression is more subtle and, in a sense, perhaps more private. It is
our quiet preparation to separate and to bid our loved one farewell.
13. 5. Acceptance
Reaching this stage of mourning is a gift not afforded to everyone.
Death may be sudden and unexpected or we may never see beyond our anger or denial.
It is not necessarily a mark of bravery to resist the inevitable and to deny ourselves the
opportunity to make our peace.
This phase is marked by withdrawal and calm. This is not a period of happiness and
must be distinguished from depression.
14.
15. Common symptoms of loss & grief
Shock and disbelief
Sadness
Guilt
Anger
Fear
Physical symptoms
16. Major task of the grief process
(1) Acceptance of the loss,
(2) Acknowledgment of the intensity of the pain,
(3) Adaptation to life after the loss and
(4) Cultivation of new relationships and activities
17. Death & dying
Coping with death, one's own or a loved one's, is considered the ultimate challenge.
The idea of death is threatening and anxiety provoking to many people.
Kubler-Ross stated, 'The key to the question of death unlocks the door of life. For those
who seek to understand it, death is a highly creative force.“
Common fears of dying people are fear of the unknown, pain, suffering, loneliness, loss
of the body, and loss of personal control.
18. Pattern of living
The first is referred to as peaks and valleys or periods of hope and periods of depression.
The second pattern is one described as distinct but descending plateaus.
The third pattern is a clear downward slope with many physiologic parameters indicating
that death is imminent.
The last pattern is a downward slant that reveals a crisis event, such as a severe cerebral
hemorrhage with almost no hope of recovery.
20. SENSORY SYSTEM
• Hearing - usually last sense to disappear
• Touch - decreased sensation, decreased perception of touch and pain
• Taste - decreased with disease progress.
• Smell - decreased with disease progress.
• Sight -blurring of vision, blink reflex absent, eyelids remain half open
21. INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
• Cold clammy skin
• cyanoses on nose, nail beds
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
• Increased respiratory rate
• cheyne stroke respiration (alternating periods of apnea, deep and rapid breathing)
• irregular breathing gradually slowing down to terminal gasps (guppy breathing)
• noisy wet sounding (death rattle)
23. URINARY SYSTEM
• Gradual decrease in urinary output
• urinary incontinence or unable to urinate
GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM
• Accumulation of gas
• distension and nausea
• loss of sphincter control
• possible cessation of GI function
• bowel movement may occur before imminent death or at the time of death
24. MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
• Gradual loss of ability to move
• loss of gag reflex
• sagging of jaw results in loss of facial muscle tone, dysphagia, difficulty in speaking
CADIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
• Increased heart rate: later slowing
• irregular rhythms
• decreased blood pressure
• weakening of pulse
25. Psychological manifestations
A variety of feelings and emotions affect
the dying patients at the end of life care.
They are –
• Altered decision making
• Fear of loneliness
• fear of pain
• Helplessness
• Restlessness
• Anxiety
• Impending doom - A feeling of
impending doom is a sensation or
impression that something tragic is about to
occur.
• Grief
27. Nursing care involves providing comfort, maintaining safety ,addressing physical and
emotional needs ,and teaching coping strategies to terminally ill patients and their
families .
More than ever ,the nurse must explain what is happening to the patient and the family
and be a confident who listens to them talk about dying.
Hospice care , attention to family and individual psychosocial issues ,and symptom and
pain management are all part of the nurse's responsibilities.
28. The nurse must also be concerned with ethical considerations and quality-of-life issues
that affect dying people.
Of utmost importance to the patient is assistance with the transition from living to dying,
maintaining and sustaining relationships, finishing well with the family and
accomplishing what needs to be said and done.
In the hospital, in long-term care facilities, and in home settings, the nurse explores
choices and end-of-life decisions with the patient and family.
29. Referrals to home care and hospice services, as well as specific referrals appropriate for
the management of the situation, are initiated.
The nurse is also an advocate for the dying person and works to uphold that person's
rights. The use of living wills and advance directives allows the patient to exercise the
right to have a "good death” or to die with dignity.
30. The nurse assesses spiritual strength by inquiring about the person's sense of spiritual
well-being, hope, and peace.
The nurse assesses current and past participation in religious or spiritual practices and
notes the patient's response to questions about spiritual needs.
Another simple assessment technique is to inquire about the patient's and family's desire
for spiritual support.
For nurses to provide spiritual care, they must be open to be present and supportive
when patients experience doubt, fear, suffering, despair, or other difficult psychological
states of being.
31. Interventions that foster spiritual growth or reconciliation include being fully present;
listening actively; conveying a sense of caring, respect, and acceptance; using
therapeutic communication techniques to encourage expression; suggesting the use of
prayer, meditation, or imagery; and facilitating contact with spiritual leaders or
performance of spiritual rituals.
Nurses can alleviate distress and suffering and enhance wellness by meeting their
patients' spiritual needs.
