Palliative Care Nursing

Palliative Care Nursing

Palliative care nursing is a specialized field focused on providing holistic care to patients with serious, life-limiting illnesses. The primary goal is to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families by managing symptoms, addressing pain, and offering emotional and spiritual support. Palliative care nurses assess patients' needs, develop individualized care plans, and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care.

They play a crucial role in facilitating conversations about treatment options, goals of care, and end-of-life decisions, advocating for patients' wishes and preferences. By fostering a compassionate and supportive environment, palliative care nurses help patients and their families navigate complex healthcare journeys, emphasizing dignity, comfort, and respect throughout the process.
