Abstract
Excellent symptom management is paramount in palliative care. Without it, the individual patient will be unable to focus appropriately on other issues of concern, including those of a psychosocial, emotional, or spiritual nature. This article reviews current pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions for symptoms commonly encountered in palliative care. These symptoms are organized into gastrointestinal, respiratory and neuropsychiatric categories.
