Introduction -- The Idea of Life, Living, Dying and Death -- Holistic Care in Palliative and End of Life Care -- Communication in Palliative and End of Life Care -- Exploring Loss, Grief and Bereavement -- Exploring the impact of Cultural and End of Life Care -- Ethical Issues in Palliative and End of Life Care -- Palliative Care in a Critical Care Setting -- Legal aspects in Palliative and End of Life Care
With the number of people requiring palliative and end-of-life care set to increase by 2020, it is the responsibility of every nurse, regardless of specialism, to know how to provide high-quality care to this group of people. Yet caring for those nearing the end of life can throw up complex issues, including handling bereavement, cultural and ethical issues, delivering care in a wide variety of settings, symptom management and also ensuring your own emotional resilience. This book is specifically designed to equip nursing students and non-specialists with the essential knowledge in relation to the care and management of people nearing the end of life. -- Provided by publisher.
