Palliatieve zorg in de praktijk

In palliative care patient problems often are complex and have elements that relate to more than one dimension and therefore require a multidisciplinary approach. In this article the methodical approach of “palliative reasoning” is described, which helps to analyse, treat and follow up complex patient problems in the palliative phase. Furthermore, tips, general recommendations and treatment options are described based on existing Dutch clinical practice palliative care guidelines, literature and expert opinion.
