The second volume in the HPNA Palliative Nursing Series, Physical Aspects of Care: Pain, Nausea and Vomiting, Fatigue and Bowel Management, provides an overview of the principles of symptom assessment and management for symptoms, including pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, obstruction, and ascites.
