Now that we have had a few weeks of clinical time at the Hospice In-Patient Unit (HIPU), you have all seen symptoms that commonly happen when someone is dying. Many symptoms are physical, but symptoms can also be emotional, mental, or spiritual. Patients nearing the end of life should be as comfortable as possible, which means the nurse must know how to recognize and treat many possible symptoms. View this interactive presentation and pring the certificate at the end to turn in at our next clinical. Please read about the symptoms and care that can be provided here. Have your patients at clinical had any of these symptoms? How has the staff at the HIPU managed these symptoms? Did the patient experience relief? Please visit this web site and choose a symptom that one of your patients has experienced. Follow the link for the symptom. Along with answering the previous questions in your post, please include the symptom you chose, the definition, the cause(s), and how it can be managed.
