The care provided by nursing is based mainly on the nurse-patient relationship, this care includes comprehensive care where nursing knowledge is put into practice to improve health. Palliative care can be conceptualized and described which is the characteristic of this type of care and how it should be an adequate care that generates a dignified treatment to the user.
