About the Position TravelNurseSource is working with Magnet Medical
to find a qualified Hospice RN in Moab, Utah, 84532! A Registered
Nurse (RN) – Hospice provides specialized care to terminally ill
patients and their families, focusing on comfort, pain management,
and quality of life rather than curative treatment. Hospice nurses
work as part of an interdisciplinary team, providing compassionate
end-of-life care in the patient’s home, hospice facility, or
nursing home. The RN assesses patient needs, manages symptoms,
educates families, and provides emotional support to both patients
and their families through the dying process. Key Responsibilities
: Patient Assessment and Care Planning : Conduct comprehensive
assessments of patients' physical, emotional, and spiritual needs
upon admission to hospice care. Develop individualized care plans
that address the patient’s goals, preferences, and care needs, in
collaboration with the patient, family, and the interdisciplinary
care team. Regularly reassess the patient’s condition and adjust
the care plan to ensure comfort and quality of life as the
patient’s condition changes. Identify and monitor symptoms such as
pain, nausea, shortness of breath, or anxiety and intervene
appropriately. Symptom and Pain Management : Administer prescribed
medications, including pain management drugs, sedatives, and other
comfort measures, as needed to manage symptoms. Monitor and assess
the effectiveness of pain management and other interventions,
adjusting as needed to ensure patient comfort. Provide guidance on
the use of pain medications and other treatments to the patient and
family members to prevent discomfort and distress. Implement
comfort measures, such as positioning, massage, or music therapy,
in coordination with other team members. End-of-Life Care : Provide
compassionate care to patients in the final stages of life,
supporting them through the dying process while respecting their
personal and cultural wishes. Offer emotional and psychological
support to both the patient and their family, addressing fears,
anxiety, and grief. Assist in the coordination of spiritual care
services, as appropriate, based on the patient’s and family’s
needs. Ensure the patient’s dignity is maintained, helping manage
advanced care decisions such as advance directives and
do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. Offer support and guidance
regarding end-of-life choices, including hospice services, funeral
arrangements, and legacy-making activities. Family Support and
Education : Provide education to the family and caregivers about
the patient’s condition, expected progression, and what to expect
during the end-of-life process. Teach caregivers how to manage the
patient’s medications, symptom control techniques, and comfort
measures. Offer emotional support to family members, addressing
feelings of grief, fear, and uncertainty throughout the hospice
care process. Provide respite care recommendations to families when
needed, ensuring they receive proper support and self-care.
Coordination of Care : Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team,
including physicians, social workers, chaplains, and home health
aides, to provide holistic care tailored to the patient’s needs.
Communicate regularly with the physician to update on patient
progress and symptom management, ensuring that all aspects of care
are well coordinated. Arrange for any necessary home care services,
such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy,
to maximize the patient’s comfort and quality of life. Serve as a
liaison between the patient, family, and other members of the
healthcare team to ensure seamless care delivery. Documentation and
Reporting : Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation in the
patient’s medical record, including assessments, care plans,
symptom management, medications, and interventions. Document
patient and family communication, as well as changes in the
patient’s condition and response to treatment. Complete required
paperwork, including admissions, visit notes, and discharge
reports, following hospice regulations and organizational
protocols. Ensure compliance with legal, ethical, and
organizational standards in all aspects of care and documentation.
Emergency Care : Provide immediate care in cases of sudden changes
in the patient’s condition, such as respiratory distress or severe
pain, in accordance with established hospice protocols. Assess
emergency situations and make necessary referrals to ensure
appropriate intervention (e.g., hospitalizations or palliative care
team support) when indicated. Guide the family and caregivers in
responding to changes in the patient’s condition and provide
reassurance during crises. Community Involvement and Support :
Participate in community outreach, education, and advocacy efforts
to promote the benefits of hospice care and raise awareness.
Collaborate with other healthcare providers and community
organizations to ensure that hospice services are accessible and
well understood by the general public. Participate in
hospice-related education and training programs to stay up-to-date
with current best practices in palliative and end-of-life care. 5
