Available To Downloads

Palliative Care Nursing: Caring for Suffering Patients explores the concept of suffering as it relates to nursing practice. This text helps nurses define and recognize various aspects of suffering across the lifespan and within various patient populations while providing guidance in alleviating suffering. Further, Palliative Care Nursing discusses ways nurses as witnesses to suffering can optimize their own coping skills and facilitate personal growth. The text describes nursing interventions to assist those who are suffering, explores spiritual and ethical perspectives on suffering, outlines grief models and how to communicate with individuals who are grieving or suffering, and explores how witnessing suffering impacts nurses' ability to assume the professional role.

Well written, easy to understand guide to many aspects of palliative care, with particular insight on the impact on nursing care providers. Being a hospice house nurse, some of the ethical conundrums have been sorted out before patients arrive at my door, but the end-of-life chapters were insightful and spot on to my practice. I have passed this on to my co-workers for there enlightenment as well.

Holding an RN license and also further credentials I needed significant continuing education units to renew. This book was suggested on a nursing renewal website. I purchased it used and it was just what was needed.

This book made you dig deep down into your soul to see what you want to happen in this instances and situations. Very good book especially the case studies.

Amazing condition
