This valuable resource offers information and guidance for people involved in palliative care. Published in collaboration with l'Association des pharmaciens des établissements de santé du Québec (APES) and now available in English, this guide will contribute to patient well-being by fostering dialogue among the members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team, including the patient's family and friends. In keeping with the philosophy of palliative care and the highest standards of pharmaceutical care, this set of handbooks is patient-oriented. It suggests standards of good practice that reflect the latest advances in the practice of pharmacy as a science and an art.

Some of the topics discussed include: opioid and non-opioid analgesics; parenteral administration of opioids; hypodermoclysis; alternate routes of drug administration; coanalgesics; nausea and vomiting; hiccups; mouth care; bowel obstruction; constipation and fecal impaction; respiratory symptoms; anxiety and insomnia; agitation and confusion; terminal sedation; myoclonus; seizures; neurological symptoms; pruritus; lymphoedema; decubitus ulcers; drug stability and compatibility.

The updated fourth edition features 11 new chapters covering such topics as bleeding, thromboprophylaxis, discontinuation of drug therapy, and home care. It comes in an expanded two-volume format: a complete guide for in-depth understanding and a pocket summary of the reference tables for quick searches.
