An on-the-go reference for hospice nurses and those interested in
end-of-life care, this practical guide covers the essential
elements in the compassionate and holistic care of terminally ill
patients and their families. Nurses care for patients facing
end-of-life issues in every practice specialty, and as the American
population continues to age the need for proficiency in end-of-life
skills will become increasingly important. This book is an
invaluable resource that provides emotional, administrative, and
palliative support, whether in a hospice, long-term care facility,
or even in acute care settings. This vital go-to text clearly and
concisely lays out not only how to care for patients facing
end-of-life issues, but also how to engage in self-care and cope
with occupational stress. Beginning with an overview of hospice
care, including its history and philosophy, this book offers a
timeline of the growth of the hospice movement in the U.S.
Subsequent sections include up-to-date information on the clinical
responsibilities of the hospice nurse in addressing the physical,
psychological, and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and
their families in a culturally sensitive way. This book also
outlines the administrative duties of the hospice nurse, including
hospice documentation, a review of hospice regulations, and quality
management. The closing section focuses on occupational stress in
hospice nursing and how to engage in self-care. This text can serve
as a useful clinical resource and also as a reference for nurses
seeking hospice certification from the Hospice and Palliative
Credentialing Center. This book was originally published under the
Fast Facts series by Springer Publishing Company.
