Author Description
Published in collaboration with Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA), this eight-volume set provides palliative care nurses with quick reference guides to each of the key domains of palliative care as established by the National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care (NCP).These domains include: Structure and processes of care, physical aspects of care, social aspects of care, spiritual, religious, and cultural aspects of care, care of the imminently dying, and ethical and legal aspects of care. A volume devoted specifically to pediatric palliative care is alsoincluded. The concise, clinically-focused volumes in theHPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals eliminate the need for obtaining multiple resources for quick-reference in daily practice or preparing for certification exams.
