I just had a patient diagnosed with Stage 4 Liver cancer. He
had suffered from cirrhosis for many years, and had a history of
alcoholism. He had just gotten a biopsy of his liver last fall,
and nothing was found. He started having severe abdominal
pain, went to the ED, and found that his lymph nodes were very
large behind his liver. He asked the doctor directly, "is it
cancer?" and the doctor said yes. He came to me, asked me to
refer him to oncology and has gotten chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, they aren't able to do much as stage 4 it
metastasis, and non-operable.
I referred pt to Palliative Care, but the nurse that went out
became confused and discussed the benefits of Hospice with the
patient and his wife. They said that they weren't interested in
the services, as they felt like it was "giving up" and they felt
like there was still hope for the patient. If this scenario were to
occur in your line of work, and a patient asked you what the
difference between palliative care and hospice was, what would
you tell him?
Using 200-300 words APA format with references .
