Many hematology-oncology providers are comfortable with pain management but may not feel as comfortable or competent with non-pain symptom management, especially when front-line options fail or prior training has not covered additional options. This webinar will cover pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management options for non-pain symptoms, such as nausea, constipation, dyspnea, anxiety and fatigue. Pediatric Palliative Oncology specialists will discuss assessment and management of non-pain symptoms, providing knowledge that participants can apply to their patients. Through this improved comfort it is hoped that patients will have improved quality of life.

Learning Objectives:

• Assess for non-pain symptoms, such as nausea, dyspnea, anxiety, or fatigue, which may not be fully appreciated.
• Identify underlying causes for non-pain symptoms.
• Outline evidence-based treatment strategies for nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, anxiety, and fatigue that include non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapies.
