Nurses providing hospice or palliative care are focused on the idea of providing a pain-free, peaceful and dignified death to dying patients. The concept of palliative care is geared towards the provision of comfort rather than cure. In this respect, end-of-life care providers are finding ways to foster a comfortable and dignified death for their patients.
