Ask the team how they manage pain and other difficult symptoms. It is also good to ask how they support family members during the grieving process. Find out how many patients each nurse sees in a single day. This helps you understand if they have enough time to give your loved one full attention. Ask about their experience with the specific health condition your family member has. A good provider will answer these questions with honesty. They should never rush your talk.
