Answer to Question 1

B
Patients and families have concerns immediately after receiving a diagnosis of terminal illness. Concerns frequently include how long people live after diagnosis, emotional effect or inconvenience to family or friends, being a burden, financial concerns, suffering pain or disfigurement, feelings of loss of control, feelings of still having much to do in life, and dying alone.
