Description
NUR 4332 End of Life Issues & Concepts (2 credit hours) Theories and strategies related to concepts of care at the end-of-life are presented. The emphasis is on the nurse as a member of an interdisciplinary team and the need for attention to cultural and spiritual factors influencing care at the end-of-life. There is currently a wide gap between the reality of end-of-life care, and the kind of care each would seek. This course is a guide to prepare nurses to be competent and compassionate professionals who can lead a transformation in care at the end-of-life.
