Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Questionnaires used to assess breathlessness are usually research tools, which means that data on their value in assessing patients' symptoms in clinical practice is minimal. This article examines the questionnaires available and discusses their strengths and weaknesses to help nurses make informed choices about which breathlessness questionnaire is most suited to their practice. |
