Identify one way palliative and hospice care differ and one way they are similar.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Palliative and hospice differ in that hospice requires the patient to be dying within the next six months and no longer in treatment, whereas palliative care begins with diagnosis of a serious illness and the person can remain in treatment. Palliative and hospice are similar in that both, by definition, are focused on pain and symptom management.
