Institution:

Seton Hall University

Subject:

Description:

Nurses spend more time with patients and families facing the end of life than any other health professional. Nurses are intimately involved in all aspects of end of life care and they address the myriad of needs facing individuals at this time of life. Expert nursing care has the potential to greatly reduce the burden and distress of those facing life's end and the ability to offer support for the many physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of patients and their families. End of life care is not confined only to specific illnesses (i.e., cancer or AIDS), but rather it is essential across all life-threatening illnesses and in cases of sudden death. 2 credits
