description <p class="p1">Having advanced care planning conversations with patients and/or their substitute decision maker has been shown to lead to many benefits, including aligning a patient’s priorities and health expectations with his or her wishes.

In this project, the documentation notes of one advanced practice nurse on an in-patient palliative care team were examined, using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide, to evaluate the Advanced Practice Nurse’s contribution to the process of holding advanced planning conversations with patients.</p>
