Students from Indian Army - College of Nursing, Command Hospital Lucknow learn End-of-life care

Today’s session focused on geriatric assessment, care management, and the intricacies of palliative care, including end-of-life and terminal care. Dr. Abhishek introduced the students from Command Hospital Lucknow, the importance of providing compassionate and holistic care for elderly patients who are nearing the end of their life. One of the key topics discussed was how to approach breaking bad news to patients and their families. This is a delicate task that requires both sensitivity and strong communication skills. When delivering such news, it's important to take the patient and their loved ones into confidence. The language used should be gentle, clear, and empathetic. Dr. Abhishek emphasized that while the reality of the situation may be that death is approaching, the focus should shift to offering the best possible quality of life in the time that remains. Patients deserve a pain-free and comfortable experience, allowing them to maintain dignity as they transition through the final stages of life. Palliative care is not just about managing symptoms but also about addressing emotional and psychological needs, ensuring that the patient feels supported throughout their journey. The session also highlighted that these conversations should be handled with care, assuring the patient and family that while a cure may not be possible, the goal is to offer the best care possible to ensure their comfort and dignity in the remaining days. #AasthaCares #CommandHospital #PalliativeCare #EndOfLifeCare #GeriatricCare #CompassionateCare #BreakingBadNews #MedicalTraining #QualityOfLife #PatientCare #NursingSkills #HealthcareCommunication
