Palliative care and dementia : what all advanced practice nurses should know

Article indépendant

WHITEHEAD, Phyllis

Dementia is a progressive, incurable condition that causes limitations in life and should be recognized as a life-limiting condition. Health care professionals should understand its trajectory to better manage symptoms and to provide early and ongoing advance care planning. Advanced practice registered nurses are uniquely qualified to work with patients and their families to identify care preferences and then to align treatments to them. Palliative care and hospice are important interventions that should be integrated into the management of patients with dementia. Additionally, early integration of palliative medicine can better manage symptoms and lessen the strain on loved ones.
