    AbstractThe psychiatric nurse can play a vital role on a palliative care team. Psychiatric nurses can work with patients to sort out the intense and conflicting feelings that affect patients and their families facing terminal illness and death. Patients can be guided through "life reviews," or nurses can craft interventions to reduce patient anxiety, assist with pain management, or promote physical and psychological comfort.
