Summary:This landmark title is the key resource for nurses working in the field of palliative care. Edited by renowned nursing experts, and written by a dynamic team of internationally known authorities in nursing and palliative medicine, the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Nursing covers the gamut of principles of care from the time of initial diagnosis of a terminal disease to the end of a patient's life, and beyond.

Various care settings are discussed including the hospital, ICU, home care, and hospice. Chapters focus on the practical aspects of nursing care, including symptom assessment, patient teaching, family support, psychosocial aspects of palliation, and spiritual care. New to this edition are chapters on the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care Guidelines, and palliative care of veterans, in rural settings, in disaster situations, in Eastern Europe, and in the Philippines
