Abstract:
In order to relieve distressing symptoms of cancer patients at end of life, administering PRN medicines adequately is essential. It is the distinctive feature of home medical care that patients and their caregivers become primary persons who administer PRN medicines. The process of PRN medication is constituted of 3 parts, preparation period, administering period, and assessment period sequentially. There are several things medical staffs should do at each period. Among them the most important point to be done is to adaptively support the persons who administer PRN medicines, namely, patients and their caregivers. Those supports include to inform the patient and the caregivers about symptoms that likely occur, to explain details of how to administer PRN medicines, to write them on paper to review the medicines, and to assure them that they can contact medical staffs by phone and they can receive home visit anytime when they need help.
