Research based mouth care in palliative care patients in the community setting
1District nurse care manager at West Herts Community Trust, St. Albans, Herts, UK.
Abstract:
This article states the importance of research based mouth care for palliative care patients. Mouth care for palliative care patients has relied upon traditional nursing practice with little utilisation of research findings. The author has examined the literature in addition to surveying nursing practice and dental recommendations. The utilisation of an assessment tool is advocated enabling accurate assessment of mouth care needs for palliative care patients. A protocol and standard has been formulated and appears in Figures 2 and 3. These are designed to allow appropriate treatment to be given. The standard can be audited as appropriate to assess performance. The author intends to implement this change into her team of district nurses and monitor its effectiveness.
