Description

CACCN Position Critical care nurses have an important and integral contribution to make in the provision and enhancement of end-of-life (EOL) care through their varied roles. Due to the fact that end-of-life care is emerging as a comprehensive area of expertise in ICU, these contributions can be provided through direct practice, research, education, administration and policy. EOL care demands the same level of knowledge and competence as all other areas of ICU practice (Truog, Campbell, & Curtis, 2008). CACCN endorses the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) position statement on "Providing Nursing Care at the End of Life". End-of-life care is rooted in the CNA's Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses. The code endorses that nurses strive to foster comfort, alleviate suffering, provide adequate pain and symptom relief, and support a dignified and peaceful death.
