Palliative care of a child component of the holistic approach to child and family. In pediatric palliative care approach should be broader, more comprehensive, and start earlier, but when the diagnosis of an incurable disease, and not only when the disease enters the terminal phase. Support provided by the palliative care should be directed towards the child and parents, siblings, peers and continuously. 

The child is still emotionally immature, but because the parents are the ones who have the full moral and legal obligation to adequately take care of him. 

By definition downloaded from the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, child means every human being below the age of 18, if under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier (3). Palliative care of a child component of the holistic approach to child and family. In pediatric palliative care approach should be broader, more comprehensive, and start earlier, but when the diagnosis of an incurable disease, and not only when the disease enters the terminal phase. Support provided by the palliative care should be directed towards the child and parents, siblings, peers and continuously. It is necessary to learn specific skills such as recognizing pain in young, preverbal or cognitively impaired children, and treat other symptoms of the disease and provide psychological, social and spiritual support (4). The child is at that age are still emotionally immature, but because the parents are the ones who have the full moral and legal obligation to adequately take care of him. 

Terminally ill children 

Care for terminally sick children is one of the most difficult nursing jobs. Nurses who nurture such patients often due to insurmountable disparity between what they learned in the process of socialization, social values ​​that have adopted the expectations of the environment in which they are located and, finally, the objective possibilities of action that are available to them (4). The nurse who was in constant contact with these patients inevitably experiences and relive every moment with the patient, so it is aware of the transience of life and thought and to his death. We have to admit that this is not an easy task. 

The care of terminally ill children 

Patient "somewhat" is the same for all, by which is meant the weight department, and thus the sheer weight of the patient's state. Advances in medicine and technology intensive care terminally ill, allow that treatment is relatively long. As all the above and has its good and bad side. The good side - extends life, ease the pain and discomfort caused by the weakening of symptomatology and autonomic functions (5). The downside - the patient is torn from their home environment, coming into a model atmosphere, attached to tubes and machines, surrounded by people that their verbal communication with the patient only do most needed (5). Medical care of the dying all the more significant problem. It is very important to improve the relations of health care professionals to children who are dying, but also to their parents. Each child is an individual for himself, and so his manner and outlook on life, and so is death itself individual. We have noted that nurses trained to maintain and improve the lives and health, and the dying patient in this case a child, full contrast and obligations. Therefore, nurses, although they are aware that nothing can be done to change this final process, however, the dying sick child react as the failure of their expertise and care. It is necessary to help him to experience the final catharsis, to preserve their human dignity by making it a part of existence on earth receive its logical end - death (4). We have noted that nurses trained to maintain and improve the lives and health, and the dying patient in this case a child, full contrast and obligations.
