Description

The aging population has only grown since the first edition of this comprehensive and seminal publication released nearly 20 years ago. Based on the need to humanize rather than medicalize the illness experience for patients, Palliative Care Nursing: Quality Care to the End of Life, Fifth Edition, delves into palliative care beyond the specific diseases affecting the patient. ICU nursing and ICU style help is impersonal and outdated. Instead, this textbook focuses on the wholesome caregiving to benefit the patient and their support network.

Palliative patients struggle with debilitating and painful conditions, and because their condition is chronic, they grapple with the fact that life as they knew it has ended. Families and friends also suffer. They don’t know how to help and therefore become secondary victims of the disease. Traditionally, ICU units and have focused on just treatment, and patients, family, and friends suffered. Today, modern medical advances have expanded to include empathy, and have learned how to harness the power of an entire team to help the patient and their support network strengthen their resilience, cure what can be cured, and maintain meaning and purpose in life.

Palliative Care Nursing, Fifth Edition delivers advanced empirical, aesthetic, ethical and personal knowledge. This new edition brings an increased focus on outcomes, benchmarking progress, and goals of care. It expounds upon the importance of the cross-disciplinary collaboration introduced in the previous edition. Every chapter in Sections I, II, and III includes content written by a non-nursing member of the interprofessional team. Based on best-evidence and clinical practice guidelines, this text presents comprehensive, targeted interventions responsive to the needs of palliative and hospice patients and family. Each chapter contains compassionate, timely, appropriate, and cost-effective care for diverse populations across the illness trajectory.

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ The print version is fine. It comes with an ebook and the code was in the inside cover with a link to redeem, but it did not work. Let me be clear: it is not an error with the code. I’ve read other reviews saying it was a misprint and they had their order fixed through customer service but this is not the case with me. I did not get to even try my code because the button on the website that says “redeem a code” does not work. It says “internal server error” and I’ve tried on multiple devices with multiple browsers. I bought this for the ebook so I would return it but I need the print now because I’m taking the class right now so I can’t just return it. I contacted customer service and they misunderstood me and gave me a replacement code, which I still cannot even attempt to redeem. I responded to customer service telling them this but it’s been weeks of no response. I don’t like doing negative reviews but I don’t know how else to try to get a response. Another student in my class is having the same experience.

⭐ If the code fails to redeem on SpringPub, contact their support and provide the code. I did so and they wrote back saying there was an error in the print run and they have no way of letting customers know. They then granted access to the book on the site.

⭐ It’s for my class. Easy to read but what can you expect from a required textbook for college

⭐ The exact book I needed for my class but cheaper than my schools bookstore! Thanks Amazon!

⭐ Code inside book did not work.
