Review

"this is an excellent reference book" – Palliative Medicine

Product Description

This user friendly guide to the palliative care of patients with incurable diseases takes a practical, easy to follow approach to this complex subject. Management of all the major symptoms are described, including difficult pain problems, respiratory problems, nausea and vomiting, constipation and diarrhoea, depression and anxiety. It also discusses the issues surrounding terminal care such as quality of life, communication skills, bereavement and carers. Chapters by a multidisciplinary team of contributors are pulled together by two editors with extensive experience in oncology and general practice. With excellent colour and black and white photographs and line drawings, the ABC of Palliative Care will become an invaluable reference for GPs, hospital doctors, specialist nurses, and all involved in palliative care.

A good book, helping the medical and non medical staff involved in palliative care to improve their attitude toward patient and patient family in difficult moments of life, as necessity of palliative care is part of life, even if in the end of it or in difficult illness.
The book is addresed mainly to the ones managing the medical intervention, doctors, nurses and care staff, leaving somehow uncovered the psychological needs of the person who receive the care. Also, the role of family component and society ivolvement in the care of the person who receive the palliative care is not very clear.
As i am a nurse, all my needs regarding when and how i will adjust my medical atitude in the event that i will give palliative care to my costumers are satified and im happy that i purchased the book.
