The book describes the management of specific diseases and related physical and psychological symptoms and care of the patient during the dying process. It includes assessment of key symptoms and pharmacological, non-pharmacological and complementary interventions. Taking a life-span approach, the book includes age-appropriate nursing considerations. Key points at the beginning of each chapter and callouts containing evidenced-based information of the highest caliber highlight relevant evidence-supporting practise.
