End Of Life Pain And Symptom Management With Communication Simulation Training
End-of-Life patients and their families have unique physical and emotional needs. The healthcare provider can take a positive role in facilitating a very stressful situation.
This course begins by reviewing key components related to caring for the patient at the End-of- Life.
Topics covered include pain, common symptoms along with symptom management, and even self-care of the healthcare provider.
During the second half of the course, the attendee will have the opportunity apply this knowledge in interactive simulation based practice.
By the end of the course, the attendee will gain a better perspective of the patient and healthcare needs of an end-of-life patient and apply it to their practice.
