Managing symptoms: Hospice nurses are responsible for managing the physical symptoms that patients may experience during their illness. This can include pain management, wound care, and medication management.

Emotional support: Hospice nurses also provide emotional support to patients and their families. They are trained to offer guidance and comfort during this difficult time.

Care planning: Hospice nurses work with patients and their families to develop a care plan that meets the patient's needs. This plan may include things like medication management, physical therapy, and counseling.

Coordination of care: Hospice nurses work closely with other members of the healthcare team, including doctors, social workers, and spiritual advisors, to ensure that the patient's needs are met.

Education: Hospice nurses also provide education to patients and their families about the disease process and what to expect as the illness progresses.
