You also have a responsibility to minimize your patient?s physical, emotional and spiritual distress, while maximizing comfort and well-being in a manner consistent with their preferences.This course includes a discussion on planning for end-of-life care as well as strategies for ensuring person-centered care during end-of-life, so that you're prepared to work with patients and their families during this difficult time.
