It can be heartbreaking seeing our loved ones who are terminally ill suffering from pain and discomfort. And sometimes, it cannot be avoided that we can’t provide them with the care and support they need due to various factors. That is why getting hospice and palliative care in California is highly important if you want your loved ones to be comfortable and pain-free during the remaining days of their life.
A hospice team usually consists of a physician, nurses, hospice aides, social workers, volunteers, chaplains, and bereavement specialists.
Although there are different kinds of nurses, all hospice nurses help patients with the same goal and objective. Listed below are some of their duties and responsibilities:
- Administering medications to patients
- Providing spiritual and psychosocial support
