"The
Seven Agreements" is everything a nurse needs to know to
provide care to a patient at end of
life. This is a newly revised and renamed version of the comprehensive "My Gift: Myself for Nurses" manual.
The
new 350 page 8.5x11 manual
also provides the background information required for preparing for the
CHPN exam to
receive hospice nurse certification. Covering a wealth of information a
nurse needs to know about hospice and palliative care, this resource
is unparalleled in the industry today. Using the four basic learning
styles in presenting information, this learning module appeals to all
parts of the brain and makes information more accessible and easy
to retain.
Each chapter of The Seven Agreements is divided
into four learning modules;
"Just the Facts, Please..." covers the
factual information about the
topic,
"At the Heart of the Matter" explores emotional content,
"Putting it Into Practice" digs into the practical aspects of the
material and
"A Closer
Look" zeros in on more detailed content.
The
Seven Agreements materials cover:
• symptom and pain management
• principles of communication with dying patients, families and fellow
team members
• spiritual care from a nursing perspective
• principles of grief and loss
• patient and family teaching
• special information on suggested drugs and interventions for a
variety of
symptoms
• short section on preparing for and passing the CHPN examination
• burnout prevention and good self care
Also
available is a specialized DVD for nurses to accompany the manual;
"Passing the CHPN Exam, Strategies for
Success". This DVD expands on the tips and techniques for
studying for and passing the CHPN exam.
