Hospice nursing: serving ambivalent clients
Abstract
Hospice nursing is a challenge at all times. Here Hamilton and Neubauer explore the nursing complexities when a patient or his family is pulled in two directions: toward the technological possibilities of the acute care setting and toward human values better expressed in the home. The psychological factors as well as the legal/reimbursement dictates are reviewed.
