Summary:
Palliative care is an essential element of our health care system and is becoming increasingly significant amidst an aging society and organizations struggling to provide both compassionate and cost-effective care. Palliative care is also characterized by a strong interdisciplinary approach. Nurses are at the center of the palliative care team across settings and populations. This second volume provides an overview of the principles of symptom assessment and management, including: pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, obstruction, and ascites.
