The Oxford American Handbook of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care is an easily-navigable source of information about the day-to-day management of patients requiring palliative and hospice care. The table of contents follows the core curriculum of the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, thus meeting the educational and clinical information needs of students, residents, fellows, and nurse practitioners. Succinct, evidence-based, topically-focused content is supplemented by extensive tables, algorithms, and clinical pearls. This edition includes new sections on grief and bereavement, medical marijuana, and physician assisted suicide, and has been updated throughout to incorporate National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care Clinical Practice Guidelines.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Featured as an 'Essential Purchase' on Doody's Core Titles List for 2018 ...comprehensively summarizes various aspects of Hospice and Palliative Care in a very lucid and easy to understand manner...of utmost usefulness not only for palliative care physicians but also for nurse practitioners and paramedics associated with palliative care * Rakesh Garg, The Open Public Health Journal, Vol 9 * This book will provide ready answers to clinical questions for anyone studying or working in palliative care, but the material is presented and set out in a way that would be useful to other health care professionals who may less often have to deal with problems involving palliative medicine. * IAHPC, Roger Woodruff *
