Description
The care of patients with advanced and terminal illness can be both rewarding and challenging. Providing high-quality symptom management and relief from distress requires knowledge, skill, and understanding.
This fully revised edition of Palliative Care outlines the fundamental principles and facts necessary to make a real difference in patient care. It covers physical and non-physical symptom management, multi-professional team work, and the role of families, as well as the dilemmas and decisions that may arise at the end of a patient's life.
Designed for nursing and medical practitioners, as well as other professionals supporting patients in various settings, this practical resource aims to provoke contemplative professional development and enhance learning. It is an essential guide for those seeking to improve their skills in palliative care.
