End-of-Life Phase / Key Points

🩺 End-of-Life Phase / Key Points | Study Card / Flashcard

This study card on the end-of-life phase provides a clear and respectful overview for nursing students and healthcare professionals involved in palliative and terminal care.

The end-of-life phase is the final stage of life, where the body gradually slows down and vital functions decline. Comfort care and dignity are central, with attention to both the patient and their family.

Key points include symptom management (such as pain, dyspnea, and agitation), comfort measures, oral care, positioning and rest, and respecting the patient’s wishes. Communication with family and emotional support also play an essential role.

This card supports compassionate care, clinical reasoning, and respectful guidance in palliative care practice 🩺
