Abstract

The death of a patient can be a difficult part of being a nurse and, depending on the healthcare setting in which you work, may be something you rarely encounter. Regardless of whether you experience patient deaths regularly or rarely in your role, it is important to know what is expected of you as a registered healthcare professional. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
