Book 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
