Nursing Care of Terminally Ill

ing Care of Terminally Ill
A 4 page research paper that addresses nursing care for the terminally ill. While palliative care is important in nursing the terminally ill, it does not address all of the needs of these patients. In addition to tending to physiological needs, such as pain control, nurses are also responsible for addressing the communicative, emotional and social needs of dying patients and their families. As this suggests, nursing care in regards to terminally ill patients encompasses a broad and demanding scope of responsibilities. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
