Description

Designed for easy use at the bedside, this manual contains the practical information health care professionals need to provide optimal end-of-life care. The book presents a multidimensional, holistic approach to assessment and management of the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and family. Topics covered include cultural diversity in end-of-life care; communicating with patients and families; predicting life expectancy; terminal care; non-pain symptom management; pain control; palliative interventions; pediatric palliative care; record keeping; and ethics.

The succinct, user-friendly presentation features bullet points and numerous quick-reference tables. Each chapter includes an “In a Nutshell” summary of key points.

User’s Reviews

This book looks as though it is very detailed and has alot of information to tell you about palliative care and hospice care. Yet, when you read it you notice it is not very detailed and only has bulleted points. It seems to be more general in its approach to palliative care and does not address many of the questions and answers that most are seeking when they read a book of this caliber.

Personally, I impress the feature of this book. It is an intention of the authors to present Palliative medicine in a “light” – simple, concise. We could not expect comprehensiveness from this book since it was indicated “Practical guide” for ” General Family Practice”. Anyway, it could be better if there are additional reading references for more details. By conclusion, this book is nice, at least in clinical part, for who provide end of life care but not yet experts.
