Question: Which of the following statements is most accurate about the palliative care/hospice trajectory? Question options: A patient is likely to slowly progress from needing palliative care for months to even years, it is best to save hospice care treatment for the final 2 or 3 days of life when it is most needed. With palliative care, there are never any treatments or hospitalizations allowed which is in accordance with the Death with Dignity Act (DWDA). Palliative care will provide a patient with mostly comfort measures to be able to keep them pain-free and preserve their quality of life to visit with family and friends however they choose. Hospice care is recommended when the physician expects that the patient has only limited days of life left and the patient agrees to spend those days in the in-patient hospice unit closest to the next of kin.
