Recenzje

While good communication skills remain one of the most important functions that impact nursing care, there are still not many curriculums that focus on those for nurses and their roles, especially in regards to âsharing difficult information.â The COMFORT Model fills that need and is easy to incorporate into clinical education strategies. This new edition of Communication in Palliative Nursing is an enhanced version of the curriculum and the use of the clinical scenarios and enhancements to the models based on clinical application make this a must read for any nurse, not just those in palliative care roles. - Anne M.
