Caring for persons with end stage disease requires extreme sensitivity, deep compassion, and extraordinary knowledge. In order to deliver expert, holistic care, healthcare professionals need to be knowledgeable of palliative care interventions to promote quality of life for patients with all types of disease processes.
Judy Dobson, RN, MSN, CHPN, will provide you with a stimulating and comprehensive discussion surrounding common end stage disease processes. Each particular end stage disease has unique issues and challenges for the patient, family, and health professional. We have an obligation to provide spiritual, existential, and physical comfort for patients with end stage disease, to support the patient and family through difficult decisions, and when needed, to guide them through the patient’s dying experience.
