  • Title: Symptom management in palliative care.
    Author: Faull C, Hirsch C.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 2000 Oct; 16(1):840-3. PubMed ID: 12029721.
    Abstract:
    Controlling patients' symptoms in palliative care requires good communication skills. Pain, vomiting and nausea are common symptoms, but anorexia and sleep disturbance are also frequently reported. Thorough evaluation and treatment of the underlying cause is imperative. Pain is different for each patient. Pain control therefore may not be achieved with analgesics alone.
