Product Description
Originally published in 2001, the Textbook of Palliative Nursing has become the standard text for the field of rest home and palliative care nursing. In this new edition, the authors and editors have updated each chapter to make sure that the content is evidence-based and current references are included. They also have retained the vital focus on case studies throughout the text and matter-of-fact, clinically-relevant tables, figures, and other resources. Like the previous edition, this text has an introductory section of the general principles of palliative care followed by a comprehensive section on symptom assessment and management encompassing twenty-one different symptoms. Other key sections include psychosocial support and spiritual care, providing holistic perspective on care of patients facing advanced disease. The text also includes an innovative section on unique populations addressing those most in need of palliative care. The textbook is a helpful resource for all nurses with the brilliant section on end-of-life care across settings. In this new edition, the pediatric palliative care section has been greatly expanded and includes seven separate chapters on pediatric care. It includes a section on “unique issues” addressing topics such as ethical considerations, nursing research, and broadcast policy perspectives and concludes with a section presenting models of excellence including six international models. This edition also offers a narrative on dying based on a spouse’s perspective. The text includes an appendix with an extensive list of resources for nurses in the field.
