Series: HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals

Pediatric palliative care is a field of significant growth as health care systems recognize the benefits of palliative care in areas such as neonatal intensive care, pediatric ICU, and chronic pediatric illnesses. Pediatric Palliative Care, the fourth volume in the HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals series, highlights key issues related to the field. Chapters address pediatric hospice, symptom management, pediatric pain, the neonatal intensive care unit, transitioning goals of care between the emergency department and intensive care unit, and grief and bereavement in pediatric palliative care. The content of the concise, clinically focused volumes in the HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals series is one resource for nurses preparing for specialty certification exams and provides a quick-reference in daily practice. Plentiful tables and patient teaching points make these volumes useful resources for nurses.

Reviews for Pediatric Palliative Care

This book provides an overview of pediatric hospice and palliative care, followed by chapters on symptom control and pain. Possibly more important in the pediatric setting, there are chapters on palliative care in the neonatal ICU, transitioning of the goals of care toward palliation, and management of the grief and bereavement that invariably follow. s
