Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Hospice services must be extended to the family during the time of bereavement (following the client's death) for at least 1 year. The goal of hospice care is symptom control (intensive palliative care), not curative measures. Clients should remain as alert and comfortable as possible. The hospice must be a centrally administered, autonomous program. Staff members and family caregivers primarily provide care, with backup inpatient services. Hospice services must be based on a client's needs, not on financial resources.
