This textbook addresses a critical gap in nursing education, where only 25% of nurses feel confident in end-of-life care despite its growing importance. It covers death and dying comprehensively, including communication skills, hospice/palliative care models, pain management, ethics, and cultural considerations. The goal is to equip nurses with skills to provide compassionate end-of-life care to patients and families.
