Feasibility of Nurse-Facilitated Advance Care Planning Among Older Veterans in a Dialysis Unit and an Oncology Infusion Center
This pilot study demonstrates that using PREPARE as an ACP tool for veterans may be feasible for patients during hemodialysis and chemotherapy infusion. Patients required considerable assistance from the LVN to complete PREPARE. Hemodialysis and chemotherapy infusion are opportunities when patients have time and space to consider ACP.
