I recently changed jobs from one hospital to another. I am baffled by many differences and one of them is "comfort care".
At my old hospital, patient who were on comfort care were kept comfortable. No vital signs, no neuro checks, usually only pain and anxiety medications were given. At my new hospital, a patient is deemed "comfort care" but its obviously in name only. Vitals are done, regular medications are given. There is virtually NOTHING different from the care we would give any other patient.
So, how is it done where you work?
