Book description
Case Studies in Palliative and End-of-Life Care
uses a case-based approach to provide students and practitioners with
an important learning tool to improve critical thinking skills and
encourage discussion toward improving experiences for patients and their families.
The book is organized into three sections covering subjects related
to communication, symptom management, and family care. Each case is
presented in a consistent, logical format for ease of use,
highlighting key evidence-based concepts including the case history,
care setting, diagnosis and prognosis, assessment, treatment
considerations, and family support.
A key reference, Case Studies in Palliative and End-of-Life Care
is an invaluable resource for clinicians who provide palliative care to
patients with life-limiting illnesses and those at the end of life along
with their families.
