Australia's population is becoming increasingly diverse. Therefore, meeting the palliative care needs in a range of settings poses many challenges. To demonstrate your understanding of a palliative care approach in a diverse environment, select a patient within one of the following lifespan categories:
• Child
• Young Adult
• Older adult (65+)
Write an essay that:
a) Discusses the importance of providing age appropriate palliative care reflecting a palliative approach for a person and their family.
b) Illustrate your understanding of nursing care using a palliative approach when applied to your chosen life span category.
