clinical practice guidelines for end of life care

This is an excellent book and is a valuable addition to the libary of both RN's and APRN's working in hospice and palliative care. It provides both a general overview and specific guidelines for end stage disease process and symptom management. It would be a useful resource for anyone studying for the CHPN exam, in addition to a good working reference book to asssist in the managment of patients and their symptoms.

This book specifically outlines clinical practice protocols to be implemented by advanced practice nureses working in end-of-life care, including both palliative and hospice settings. These clinical practice protocols provide advanced practice nurses with guidelines to provide comprehensive care and avoid errors of possible oversight, provide a system for handling specific symptoms frequently experienced by the terminally ill patient, and support communication between the practicing nurse and physician.
