Palliative and End of Life Care in Nursing Résumé

Palliative and End of Life Care in Nursing Jane Nicol

With the number of people requiring palliative and end-of-life care set to increase by 2020, it is the responsibility of every nurse, regardless of specialism, to know how to provide high-quality care to this group of people. Yet caring for those nearing the end of life can throw up complex issues, including handling bereavement, cultural and ethical issues, delivering care in a wide variety of settings, symptom management and also ensuring your own emotional resilience. This book is specifically designed to equip nursing students and non-specialists with the essential knowledge in relation to the care and management of people nearing the end of life.

Palliative and End of Life Care in Nursing Avis

"This book serves as a manual for total patient and family care at the end of life.... Though the information has been provided by multiple other authors...,the strategies of delivery make this text unique and possibly more effective.... A useful resource for new and seasoned end-of-life caregivers. Summing Up: Highly Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." -- J.S. St. Clair, Lynchburg College
This is an excellent read for nurses who care for patients at the palliative stage of their illness and those who are at the end of their life.There are real case scenarios and chances for refection and critical thinking. [...] It does make the reader think "Am I actually providing this patient good death?" and "What can I do in the future?".I honestly could not find any weakness within this book. It is reader friendly, also a good guide to keep at work so nurses can dip in and out for the resources. -- Marie Stevens
