This is a very interesting and helpful textbook that uses evidence based practice, reflections and experience to help anyone involved in end of life care of a wide variety of patients.
It covers all aspects of care, ethics and religious beliefs that help the reader explore and challenge the contemporary issues involved.
I used this textbook to guide a student nurse who was extremely uncomfortable and frightened to conduct last offices on a patient, and there are many concise but very useful sections that I was able to use. The student nurse still has this book so it must still be useful and serving it′s purpose.
