Determining the optimal dosing regimen for pediatric patients is a challenge due to the lack of dosing guidelines and studies. In addition, many developmental pharmacology changes that occur throughout childhood that have profound impacts on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of medications are commonly used in palliative care. Adding to that complexity, certain medications have different effects in the pediatric patient compared to the adult patient. Being aware of the pharmacokinetic changes, impact on neurodevelopment and unique medication factors that are present in pediatric patients helps clinicians treat the pediatric palliative care patient in the best and safest way possible.

Serious illness creates a need for financial and legal support for individuals and their families. Nonmedical issues are often as pressing on them as their medical concerns. Clinicians must have a basic understanding of meeting those needs of advance planning, income and family maintenance, access to insurance, and family preservation within the context of culturally appropriate care. Knowledge of community and faith-based resources to meet the nonmedical needs of the palliative care patient is an essential aspect of care. Since these are often unknown to patients and their families, the clinician must know how to guide patients through the morass of cultural and legal requirements for this purpose.
