It affects comfort, fear, family decisions, communication, dignity, treatment goals, and the way patients experience every stage of care.Palliative Care Textbook is a practical clinical guide for medical students, residents, clinicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, social workers, chaplains, caregivers, and healthcare trainees who want to understand palliative care with clarity, confidence, and compassion.This book focuses on the real situations healthcare professionals face every day: uncontrolled pain, breathlessness, nausea, fatigue, delirium, anxiety, difficult family conversations, ethical uncertainty, end-of-life decisions, advanced illness, hospice transitions, caregiver distress, and the challenge of supporting patients when cure is no longer the only goal.Rather than presenting palliative care as only end-of-life care, this textbook shows its wider clinical value.
