Ideal for training and self-study. Palliative care for elderly, terminally ill patients is part of everyday nursing in inpatient facilities. Caregivers are particularly challenged here: What do the dying wish and need? What professional services need to be coordinated? How does one cope with the situation without permanently exceeding their own limits? The learning book "End of Life" provides comprehensive information for caregivers, practice instructors, and students. Exercises and case studies invite readers to engage with the topic of dying and to reflect on their own feelings and experiences. The range of topics covers personal approaches to the concept of finitude, hospice work, and palliative care, as well as specific palliative measures.
