If you believe the evidence for efficacy to manage symptoms like neuropathic pain, how do you even start to think about recommending these products to patients? And I returned to school to become a nurse practitioner. I’d been a nurse at the time, and I went back to do my clinicals in an oncology clinic locally.

Why the field is moving away from prescribing methadone to bupenorphine; how to manage patients prescribed methadone for opioid use disorder who then develop serious and painful illness – should we/can we split up the once daily dosing to achieve better pain control?

While we like to think about how our goals and preferences will influence what that life looks like, including whether you will get potentially burdensome interventions, your fate is probably influenced more by factors like where you live and what nursing home you happen to end up in. . It improves symptom management. Ruth: Thank you.

I think that study was really important, especially I think the message that I give people is you can do something as simple as calling a consultation and improve quality of life months later. It was like this patient is on hospice and call the case manager to figure out how the patient ended up here. So that’s great. No, no, no.

She’s a hospice and palliative care nurse practitioner and Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at UCSF. And the hard part is, as a provider in palliative care, I actually have very little say of which hospice the individuals we consult to go to. Management, it’s hard. Who sees you?

So they can pick up that that is inauthentic, when we use nurse acronyms with our loved one, or nowadays you’re using remap pneumonics, rather than just actually talking how we usually talk.

If you own and operate a nursing home and you’re taking people in, and you’re admitting new residents, what’s their accountability for how they manage compensation and quality delivery? We might evaluate that in a small number of nursing homes and go from there. What are they accountable for? Eric: Great.

You get me with one-finger-chords on the guitar if you’re watching on YouTube (best I could manage).
