Evidence based guidance for advanced palliative and hospice nursing practice

Prepares nursing students and advanced practice learners to meet the complex needs of patients and families facing serious and life-limiting illness. Designed to support both classroom learning and clinical application, this comprehensive text integrates evidence-based practice with ethical, cultural, spiritual, and holistic dimensions of care. Organized into four clearly structured sections, it guides students from foundational principles of palliative care through disease-specific management, communication skills, and expert symptom control—including care of the actively dying. Written by leading clinicians and educators, the text emphasizes interprofessional collaboration, real-world clinical judgment, and compassionate presence, equipping students with the knowledge, confidence, and professional values essential for delivering high-quality palliative and hospice care across settings.
