Field Guide for Hospice Superheroes - Paperback

by Susan Gibson N. P. (Author), Michael Bordofsky (Author)

Hospice and Palliative Care are team sports, played by superheroes - but even superheroes need a playbook. We designed this guide to be used in the field, on the run. Sections are intentionally brief and to the point. Have a patient who needs to start morphine but not sure what starting dose to recommend? In the two minutes it takes your computer to boot, you can look it up and read about initiating opioids. On the way to have a discussion about deactivating a defibrillator? In the time it takes you to walk up a driveway you can quickly read about the key management issues related to defibrillators in hospice patients.
