Abstract:	This professional clinical guide presents nursing administrators and critical care nurses in acute care agencies, nursing homes, and hospice and palliative care settings with detailed implementation strategies for accommodating dying persons and their loved ones as they make the transition from physical life. Written by nurses for nurses, the text promotes compassionate end-of-life care and provides a roadmap to changing the death experience of patients and their families into one that is peaceful, personal, and dignified. Experienced and respected nursing professionals Drs. Lynn Keegan and Carole Ann Drick have designed a text that encourages deep self-reflection and asks readers rethink the question of where and how terminally ill patients experience dying and death.
