Critics Review
This is a quality, concise textbook that offers evidenced based management of dyspnea and excess secretions. It is not just a palliative focused text but discusses primary care management of diseases such as diuresis for heart failure and inhalers for COPD. It addresses both pediatric and adult illnesses and also touches on challenging topics such as ventilatory withdrawal and palliative sedation for refractory dyspnea. * Natalie Fae Mohammad, BAN, MSN, APRN, CNP, ACHPN, Mayo Clinic *
