    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2008 Oct; 17(5):291-6; quiz 297. PubMed ID: 19051974.
    Abstract:
    While the nurse works on developing communication skills with the dying patient and his or her family, the goal should be to build an understanding of the patient and family's needs and goals. The principles and value of good communication near the end of life are reviewed. Practical approaches and suggestions for medical-surgical nurses to improve communication are provided.
