This book specifically outlines clinical practice protocols to be implemented by advanced practice nureses working in end-of-life care, including both palliative and hospice settings. These clinical practice protocols provide advanced practice nurses with guidelines to provide comprehensive care and avoid errors of possible oversight, provide a system for handling specific symptoms frequently experienced by the terminally ill patient, and support communication between the practicing nurse and physician.

  • Provides in-depth pathophysiology, assessment and interventions of symptoms based on disease trajectory.
  • Describes normal dying as a healthy process through the support of an interdisciplinary team.
  • Indicates suggestions for patient and family teaching.
  • Presents extensive information on the use of complementary therapies in end-of-life care, including research-based evidence of their effectiveness as well as resources that are helpful for practice.
  • Includes case studies at the end of chapters to reinforce the information presented.
  • Describes psychosocial issues experienced by patients at the end of life and by their families.
  • Reviews uncomplicated and complicated grief and mourning and provides suggestions for supporting families after a patient's death.
