This groundbreaking reference for palliative care nurses is the
first to provide realistic and achievable evidence-based methods
for incorporating compassionate and humanistic care of the dying
into current standards of practice. It builds on the author's
research-based CARES Tool, a reference that synthesizes five key
elements demonstrated to enable a peaceful death as free from
suffering as possible: Comfort, Airway Management, Management of
Restlessness and Delirium, Emotional and Spiritual Support, and
Self-Care for Nurses. The book describes step-by-step how nurses
can easily implement the basic tenets of the CARES Tool into their
end-of-life practice. It provides a clearly defined plan that can
be individualized for each patient and tailored to specific family
needs, and facilitates caring for the dying in the most respectful
and humane way possible. The book identifies the most common
symptom management needs in dying patients and describes in detail
the five components of the CARES paradigm and how to implement them
to enable a peaceful death and minimize suffering. It includes
palliative care prompts founded on 29 evidence-based
recommendations and the National Consensus Project for Palliative
Care Clinical Practice Guidelines. The resource also addresses the
importance of the nurse to act as a patient advocate, how to
achieve compassionate communication with patient and family, and
barriers and challenges to compassionate care. Additionally, the
book discusses how to translate current research into effective
practice, and how to practice self-care. Case studies emphasize the
importance of compassionate nursing care of the dying and how it
can be effectively achieved. Key Features: Provides nurses with
