Palliative day care and spinal cord compression.

Nicol, Jackie; Dosser, Isabel

Abstract

It is Friday morning. You are the nurse in charge at a community
palliative day care unit and are expecting ten patients to attend.
The unit opens Monday to Friday. The consultant in palliative
medicine, who covers from the local hospice, is on annual leave,
so there will be no medical cover. Betty*, a 68-year-old with
advanced lung cancer and bone metastases, arrives as usual at
10am accompanied by her volunteer driver.
