Overview
With an aging population and changes in the way people die, all nurses may expect to care for a dying person, whether through their job or through their community of friends and family. Integrating a palliative approach early in the disease process for people with any life-limiting illnesses, across all care settings, can help to improve quality of living, dying and bereavement.
