This textbook has...introduced concepts and methods of education which [help] to move palliative nursing forward as an evidenced based practice of whole person care. -- Betty Ferrell, PhD, FAANResearch Scientist (From the Foreword) In this comprehensive textbook on palliative care nursing, editors Marianne Matzo and Deborah Witt Sherman succeed in bringing together the heart of nursing and the true meaning of palliative care with the most current evidence based practice. --GeriPal Palliative care is a philosophy of caregiving that integrates disease modification with supportive, compassionate therapies for patients at the end of life. Palliative care nurses are responsible for alleviating pain and other physical symptoms-along with satisfying the emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual needs of patients who are facing life-threatening illness. This third edition of Palliative Care Nursing provides more comprehensive newly updated content, knowledge, attitudes, skills, and cutting-edge teaching and learning strategies to achieve the AACN End-of-Life nursing competencies providing a lifespan approach. Now in its third edition, this book continues to emphasize the value of complementary, holistic modalities in promoting health, wholeness, and wellness, even as death approaches. Key topics discussed: Ethical aspects of palliative care Legal aspects of end-of-life decision-making Loss, suffering, grief, and bereavement on the part of patients and their families Symptom-specific nursing management of pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, malnutrition, and dehydration-all common to palliative care How to communicate with the seriously ill and dying patients, their families, and their health care providers Disease-specific aspects of palliative care for those battling cancer, heart disease, lung disease, HIV/AIDS, end-stage renal and liver disease, neurological, and other disorders "

This text is horrible. The print quality is very cheap - it is basically printed on copy paper. The text has glaring grammar errors and missing words. Entire paragraphs are reprinted. Words are misspelled or simply omitted. The absolute worst textbook editing I have ever seen. It's as if no one ever read the thing. There are errors on nearly every page. Ridiculous.
This book is one of the worst nursing books I've seen yet. It is so strewn with grammar and editing errors it's hard to read. The information in every chapter is excessively redundant. Essentially, the same ideas are repeated chapter after chapter under the guise of different topics. This book could have easily been half the length and it may have been productive. But, as it's written it is simply busy work for already busy nursing students. Don't waste your time.
I couldn't believe that there were so many grammatical errors in this book! It is an instructional book for God's sake. So disappointed that all this was overlooked just to make a quick buck and still so disappointed that any school would choose it and thus have people like me have no choice but to buy it.
I really like the way that it is written and laid out. Don't really care for some of the EBP notes, but all-in-all, it's very easy to understand and I actually enjoy reading it for school.
Book was very informative and very helpful in understanding the course material. Chapters were very explicit and easy to understand.
