N2  - This research study was conducted to assess the palliative care provided by nurses to terminally-ill patients at selected hospitals in Paranaque City. The research design utilized in this study was descriptive particularly the survey type. The respondents are 50 registered nurses from selected hospitals. The Five Point Scale was used to statistically treat the data. This study is all about the assessment of the provision of palliative care of nurses to terminally-ill patient at selected hospitals in Paranaque City. The following are the problems formulated by the researchers: (1) What is the profile of the respondents according to age, gender and civil status, (2) How do the nurse assess themselves in rendering palliative care to terminally-ill patients in terms of pain management, symptom management, psychological and emotional support, and spiritual support and (3) Is there a significant difference in the Palliative Care rendered by the mitses when grouped according to the profile variables. Dr. Jean Watson's Human/Transpersonal Caring Theory served as the theoretical framework utilized in this study. The researcher used questionnaires as an instrument in this study.  Findings revealed that the palliative care provided by nurses to terminally-ill patients in terms of pain management and symptom management were interpreted as highly satisfactory. Psychological, emotional and spiritual supports were interpreted as moderately satisfactory. In all the provisions of palliative care, data revealed that respondents focused first on the physiologic needs of the patient. They put priority on pain and symptom management. They focused least on the spiritual support. Although this is given least priority, it is good to know that the respondents' performance in providing this support is still considerably moderately satisfactory. In terms of palliative care rendered by the respondents when grouped according to the profile variables, there is not really that much significant difference with every age group, gender and civil status. Their performances are highly satisfactory regardless of age, gender and civil status
