Description:
Achieving patients’ and families’ goals for pain and symptom control is challenging at all stages of life, particularly for patients with multiple chronic illnesses, overall declining health status, and limited options for alternative approaches. Implementing palliative care approaches can significantly improve your ability to care for these patients and reduce the stresses on you and your staff.

Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
• Describe two or more causes for resistant pain.
• Explain differences in appropriate pain and symptom management at end-of-life.
• Describe one or more additional palliative care strategies that facilitate pain and symptom management at end-of-life.
