Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The criteria for hospice care includes a diagnosis of progressive, terminal illness in which the primary care provider, client, and family agree that control of symptoms is the primary goal, after determining no curative treatment is available or desirable. The life expectancy is usually no more than 6 months and, in most cases, the client agrees to DNR/DNI status. Hospice care can be discontinued with the agreement of the client, family, and primary care provider.

Answer to Question 2

B
