Serve clients through ethical, compassionate nursing

Providing end-of-life and palliative care is a vital, but often challenging nursing function. With effective end-of-life nursing training, ushering clients through this transition can become a privilege.

End-of-Life Care & Pain Management will empower you to help clients face death with dignity and navigate the decision-making process that precedes it. Learn how to confidently assess when your clients are close to death, what pain interventions are most appropriate for them and which resources would minimize their suffering, including hospice care.
