A patients’ end of life journey can be filled with feelings of suffering that extend beyond their physical symptoms. Confronting mortality and experiencing a loss of control over their health, and physical needs, results in many personal struggles. Older adults may experience a profound sense of loss of control, an exacerbation of emotional and physical symptoms, and face difficulties in communicating their preferences for care. This session will explore how palliative and hospice medicine serve as supportive layers of care for the older adult. Nicola Harchut, DNP, ACNS-BC, NEA-BC, ACHPN, will provide you with multi-disciplinary end of life care strategies to address all aspects of patient comfort, enhanced patient communication, and skills to support patient choices and control.
