Palliative Nursing is a new resource for nurses working in the emerging field of palliative care! Incorporating principles of palliative care throughout the course of a chronic progressive incurable disease rather than only at the end of life, the volume's scope is broad. The content, contributed by over eighty national and international nursing experts, and divided into 16 parts and 61 chapters, covers the world of palliative care nursing across all settings. Long term care, home care, hospice, acute care/ICU, and outpatient/office settings are discussed. The needs of special populations are addressed, including pediatric patients, the elderly, the cognitively impaired, the poor and under-served, homeless, and those with AIDS. Clinical assessment, symptom management, spirituality, the meaning of hope at end-of-life, issues of truth telling, ethics, and research are just some of the areas that are covered in the text.
