[Nursing interventions can be simple]

This article challenges caregivers to reconsider certain barriers that may influence their perception of client care, regardless of the reason for care. Presenting a holistic approach to nursing interventions in palliative care, the author also provides a brief overview of the evolution of caregiving and highlights the increasingly important role of the family. Indeed family involvement forms the basis of the author's approach, an approach that takes into account the bio-psycho-social aspects of care and the sexual well-being of the client. He stresses that the reactions of family members and loved ones to the illness of the client can vary greatly, requiring versatility in the nurse's role as facilitator.
