1. Pain assessment and interventions are essential in end of life care, but not the goal.
2. The child's developmental needs are for assessment purposes.
3. Palliative care does not focus on school needs because the end of life should be the focus.
4. Discharge planning is the goal of a palliative care so the child can be in a comfortable home environment with the family.
