Children's Palliative Nursing Care

Pediatric palliative care is a rapidly growing field as health care systems increasingly recognize its value across neonatal intensive care, pediatric intensive care, and the management of chronic pediatric illnesses. Pediatric Palliative Care, the fourth volume in the HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals series, addresses the unique needs of infants, children, and families facing life-limiting conditions. This clinically focused resource covers essential topics including pediatric hospice care, symptom and pain management, care in the neonatal intensive care unit, transitions of goals of care between emergency and intensive care settings, and grief and bereavement. Designed as both a certification exam resource and a practical bedside reference, the book supports nurses in delivering compassionate, evidence-based care.
