Episode Thirty-Five: Special Needs
from The Hospice Nursing Podcast Hosted by James Dibben
In this episode I review some of the challenges we can face when caring for patients with a long history of substance abuse. During the show I review the psychosocial reasons we will find ways to not admit people who need hospice. I also discuss how we can easily complicate the qualifications for hospice when we interject our own feelings and fears into the situation. At the end of the show I share the story of a heart failure patient with special needs, and how we adjusted our plan of care to make sure this patient got the care he needed. ============================== As always, don’t forget to call, text or email to leave feedback! I would love to hear from you! 816-834-9191 [email protected] ============================== Be sure to check out thehospicenursingcommunity.com for extra content as well as hope, help and encouragement from other hospice nurses just like you!
