Can biotechnology be applied in palliative nursing care while incorporating bio ethical values, while adhering to scientific understanding, human empathy amidst suffering? Technical expertise is as necessary as nursing competence in caring for an invalid whose life is finite (Kirkpatrick et al, 2017). World Health Organization in both developed and developing nation’s data shows that people are living and die lonely while full of fear, and experiencing a lot of untreatable physical pain and suffering and go forth to experience psychological trauma, spiritual quest and pain relieve.

Clinical trials aimed at palliative care interventions specifically for patients with sufficient unmet needs is a great proposition. The modern health record system is crucial for efficient nursing palliative care. It is essential to align the specialists with the most urgent needs to ensure that the relevant health care workers address structural care delivery issues. Policy-driven change requires persuasive data to enhance efficiency and equitable palliative care delivery (Kirkpatrick et al., 2017). It will increase the possibility of hospitalized invalids accessing specialized care.

The importance of theory-based nursing practice and the relationship between theory and study has received little attention. Instead of merely performing regular hospital activities with the patient, the nurse could facilitate a more peaceful end of life. It can enable nurses to understand chronically ill patient care complexities and how they can result in a quiet end of life (Kirkpatrick et al, 2019). In this regard, establishing a theoretical nursing paradigm helps promote the palliative theory, which advocates for the protection of life in its entirety. It allows patients to experience the prospect of well-being during the end-of-life period. It also supports the alleviation of actual and imagined fears and distress for the patient and his family.
