ABSTRACT

Over the past several years, healthcare professionals have developed policies, guidelines, and educational programs to promote the implementation of pediatric palliative care practices in acute and outpatient care settings. This article provides a description and listing of many of these resources to aid nurses as they strive to improve their palliative care knowledge and skills, and implement palliative care programs in their institutions.
