| Annotation | This practice guide, produced in association with Macmillan Cancer Relief, comprises training material and is arranged in four sections. The first looks at the issue of pain as a personal experience. The second, on older people in pain, considers their pain experiences whether living in the community, in hospital, or in long-term care. The third, on knowing when someone with dementia is in pain, looks at how pain is diagnosed as dementia progresses, and the importance of listening and reacting to verbal responses from the person with dementia in the same way as a person with normal cognition. The last section considers some ethical issues. (RH). |
