"One of the best Hospice Care books of all time" - BookAuthority    

An on-the-go reference for hospice nurses and those interested in end-of-life care, this practical guide covers the essential elements in the compassionate and holistic care of terminally ill patients and their families. Nurses care for patients facing end-of-life issues in every practice specialty and, as the U.S. population continues to age, the need for proficiency in end-of-life skills will become increasingly important. Fast Facts for the Hospice Nurse: A Concise Guide to End-of-Life Care is an invaluable resource that provides emotional, administrative, and palliative support, whether in a hospice, long-term care facility, or acute care setting. This vital go-to text clearly and concisely lays out not only how to care for patients facing end-of-life issues, but also how to engage in self-care and cope with occupational stress.
Beginning with an overview of hospice care, including its history and philosophy, this book offers a timeline of the growth of the hospice movement in the United States. Subsequent sections include up-to-date information on the clinical responsibilities of the hospice nurse in addressing the physical, psychological, and spiritual needs of terminally ill patients and their families in a culturally sensitive way. This book also outlines the administrative duties of the hospice nurse, including hospice documentation, a review of hospice regulations, and quality management. The closing section focuses on occupational stress in hospice nursing and how to engage in self-care. This text can serve as a useful clinical resource and also as a reference for nurses seeking hospice certification from the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center.
Key Features
  • Organized within the context of the scope and standards of practice of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association.
  • Addresses key points about issues unique to hospice nursing and highlights evidence-based interventions
  • Addresses important Medicare regulations and reimbursement
  • Offers numerous clinical resources to assist with hospice nursing practice

I am not a healthcare professional. I have a family member in hospice and wanted more information. This would be good for an overview for someone who has taken a class or prepping for certification. I liked the samples of patient symptoms scoring.

2.0 out of 5 stars A waste, purchase "End of Life Care" instead
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018

This really is not a very good book, too vague and uninformative. The best book for a Hospice nurse is: "End of Life Care, Clinical Practice Guidelines" by Kim Kuebler, Patricia Berry, & Debra Heinrich, published by Saunders. I have been a Hospice nurse for almost a year and still open the "End of Life" book for a refresher. The "Fast Facts Hospice Nurse" book does not even come close to providing info that is useful for patient care.
