cord-010658-67k8pthy	Bernard, Andie	PC-FACS May 2020 for July 2020 Issue	2020-05-07		.txt	text/plain	1923	123	45	To expertly guide patients through this often devastating illness, palliative care professionals will need to keep abreast of the COVID-19 literature as the pandemic evolves and the longer-term outcomes come into sharper focus. Bottom Line: Early reports of COVID-19-associated pneumonia and ARDS provide insights into risk factors, short-term prognosis, and mortality that are important for palliative care professionals to be aware of when counselling patients and families. This article discussed a component of an appropriate response to the COVID-19 pandemic: ensuring that clinicians have discussions about advance care planning (especially with older patients with chronic illness) and goals of care with patients/families. This pandemic heightens the importance of implementing do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders for appropriate patients: although unwanted/nonbeneficial CPR always risks increasing psychological distress for patients' families, inappropriate CPR now is especially stressful and potentially dangerous for healthcare workers.	./cache/cord-010658-67k8pthy.txt	./txt/cord-010658-67k8pthy.txt
