Martha Henderson, Laura Hanson, Kimberly Reynolds - Improving Nursing Home Care of the Dying: A Training Manual for Nursing Home Staff
Publisher: Springer Publishing Company | 2003-04-29 | ISBN: 0826119255 | PDF | 208 pages | 7.33 MB
One in five people in the United States will die in a nursing home. To ensure good care at the end of life, all nursing home residents need attention to their physical, emotional, spiritual needs, and the opportunity to voice preferences. With the support of the Soros Foundation Open Society Institute's Project Death in America, the authors have developed an innovative educational program to help nursing home staff provide competent and compassionate end-of- life care.
Written in a clear style, the book examines eight topics in end-of-life and palliative care in a long-term-care setting. Topics include: recognizing the final phase of life; grief and loss; advance care planning; choices about eating and drinking; pain management; emotional and spiritual care; and caring for the caregivers.
The materials are designed to engage the learner and help nursing home staff apply what they have learned. Chapters contain learning exercises, clinical cases to facilitate group discussion, and useful Appendices.
