Description
Communication is a central aspect of nursing care and is especially important when pertaining to progressive illnesses and end of life. This article reviews basic palliative care terminology and outlines a variety of communication frameworks from the "dos" to the "don'ts." These communication strategies are meant to be added to the nurse's "toolbox" so that nurses may use them in various scenarios. These communication tools are meant to help mitigate the stress and discomfort nurses often feel when using palliative communication or delivering bad news.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
