Feedback:
Hospice nursing involves caring for clients, giving end-of-life care. Hospice nursing takes place in hospitals, long-term care facilities, other facilities (e.g., hotels, shelters, or prisons), or the client's own home. Nurses perform many roles in acute-care nursing and extended-care nursing and hospice care may be performed in these facilities. The nurse working as a travel companion may be "on duty" all the time and does not usually provide hospice care.
