Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The goal of palliative care is to integrate symptom management interventions earlier into the course of chronic disease sooner rather than later. This helps to promote optimal quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The disease trajectory occurs from the onset of a life-limited diagnosis until death. Physical functioning determines the decline in the patient's physical status. Decline in status is used to determine when to intervene with palliative and end-of-life care.
