Synopsis

The Textbook of Palliative Nursing is a new resourse 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. The needs of special populations are addressed, including paediatric patients, the elderly, the cognitively impared, the poor and under-served, homeless, and those with AIDS. Clinical assesment, symptom management, spirituality, the meaning of hope at the end of life, issues of truth telling, ethics and research are just some of the areas that are covered in the text.
