Klappentext
Deliver confident palliative care at the bedside with step-by-step guidance
Acute care nurses manage complex palliative needs in patients, despite often having limited formal training in palliative care. Manual for Palliative Care: A Step-by-Step Guide for Acute Care Nurses provides accessible, evidence-based guidelines for inpatient settings. Written by multidisciplinary authors with clinical and academic expertise, this handbook delivers foundational knowledge for medical-surgical units, emergency departments, intensive care units, and post-surgical units where access to specialty palliative teams may be limited.
Each chapter includes real-world examples and interprofessional perspectives from contributors across the country, addressing the role of the acute care nurse in supporting whole-person palliative care. This includes symptom management, patient and family communication, support for spiritual needs and family / caregiver coping, end-of-life care, disaster management, and self-care.
Readers will discover:
- Step-by-step guidelines for collaborative, timely, holistic, patient-centered interventions that foster confidence in nonspecialist nurses providing palliative care
- Physical and non-physical symptom management strategies that help patients and families maintain quality of life and dignity during acute hospitalization
- Communication frameworks addressing barriers between clinicians and families, including guidance on advanced care planning and challenging legal issues
- Evidence-based approaches responding to nursing organization calls for primary palliative care knowledge and skills across all practice settings
Designed for acute care nurses in inpatient settings, this manual equips the bedside workforce with practical palliative interventions they can implement immediately. Whether you work in medical, surgical, emergency, intensive care, or post-surgical units, Manual for Palliative Care builds confidence in delivering quality palliative care.
