Caring for patients with eating deficiencies in palliative care-Registered nurses' experiences: A qualitative study.

Food and mealtimes represent fundamental aspects of human life and denote central parts in RNs clinical practice in palliative care. The findings can inspire development of a comprehensive palliative care approach to support patients and families. Structured reflection in relation to clinical practice may support and encourage RNs, caring for patients with eating deficiencies, in mastering both doing and being.
