Advanced Practice Palliative Nursing 2nd Edition

Advanced Practice Nursing in Palliative Care – Revised Edition
This seminal textbook provides comprehensive guidance for advanced practice nurses caring for seriously ill and dying patients. Covering the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of palliative care, it integrates case examples with a strong evidence base to support the highest standards of care.

The revised edition has been reorganized to reflect advanced practice nursing roles and practice issues, offering essential foundation content on leadership, clinical practice, education, policy, and research. It highlights the diverse settings in which APRNs practice—including acute care units, intensive care, emergency departments, specialty and primary care clinics, community and rehabilitation centers, residential facilities, and telehealth.

Special attention is given to health equity, crisis management, and the care of diverse populations, with dedicated chapters on health disparities, urban economic challenges, Veterans, the LGBTQ+ community, and survivorship. Pediatric palliative care, end-of-life communication, and ethical challenges for APRNs are also thoroughly addressed.

Written by leaders and pioneers in advanced practice nursing, this authoritative text is both a practical resource and academic reference for APRNs across all care settings and patient populations, from pediatrics to geriatrics.
