abstract: AS THE editors suggest, this book is 'written by nurses, for nurses'. Although there is a chapter on pain control, the book does not intend to provide a 'recipe' for symptom management, but an overview of significant issues pertaining to palliative nursing: communication, psychosocial dimensions and ethics. There is also a chapter on selecting the best evidence in application to practice.
