| 11 | Guidelines for Nutritional Care in Palliative Care Cachexia is common in cancer and other types of chronic disease. It is defined as weight loss, anorexia, weakness and asthenia causing reduced performance status, fatigue, metabolic alterations and reduced quality of life. |
| 12 | Guidelines for Palliative and End of Life Care in Nursing Homes and Residential Care Homes The aim of these guidelines is to enable staff within the nursing and residential care home setting, in collaboration with other members of the health and social care team, to provide consistent high quality palliative and end of life to residents and their families. |
| 13 | Guidelines on Supportive Care, Symptom Control and End of Life Care for Renal Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high symptom burden. Symptom control is complicated by delayed drug clearance, dialysis effects and care is needed with some drugs that have high renal toxicity eg NSAIDs. Whilst some patients are offered and accept renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplant), other patients will decide not to undergo treatment and will instead opt for conservative management. In these guidelines we aim to provide information on CKD and the management of common symptoms associated with it. The final section provides guidance on end of life care. |
| 14 | Health Care Guideline Palliative Care for Adults By defining appropriate evaluations and outcomes, this guideline attempts to assist the clinician with the appropriate discussions, clinical interventions, and utilization of palliative care and hospice expertise when necessary. As illness progresses and the need for interdisciplinary approaches to the relief of suffering increases, the intensity of palliative interventions will also increase. |
| 15 | Identifying needs and improving palliative care of chronically ill patients: a community-oriented, population-based, public-health approach The article summarizes the changes in needs and demands of patients receiving palliative care, the conceptual progress within the concept of Public Health Palliative Care, and the bases for a rational planning. The community-oriented and population-oriented approach should be employed to identify all types of patients in all settings using appropriate tools at the same time as implementing measures to improve the quality of care in all services from a District perspective. Palliative care needs to be inserted into Chronic Care Programmes |
| 16 | Integrated palliative care This book provides the impetus for what can be done and what can be changed. The next 20 years for palliative and end-of-life care will be very different to what has gone before. Understanding the value of what integration of care can bring to patients and families is the new horizon for our discipline. |

| 19 | National Guidelines for Palliative Care (Singapore) The guidelines recognise that individual patients have different needs at different phases of their illness and service providers should be responsive to patients' changing needs. In addition, families and carers need support during the patient's life and in bereavement. It also recognises the importance of training and self care for staff and the important role of volunteers in palliative care. |
| 20 | National Palliative Care Strategy 2018 (Australia) Australia has been identified as a world leader in the provision of palliative care and in the quality of our palliative care research programs. All people require evidence-based and personcentred care at the end of their lives, and it is recognised that appropriate care should be based on appropriate need. The National Palliative Care Strategy represents the commitment of the Commonwealth, state and territory governments to ensuring the highest possible level of palliative care is available to all people. |
