Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. Collaboration among health care team members in hospice care addresses effective pain management control, assisting the family as needed in adjusting to the eventual outcome of the client, and obtaining additional services for identified client needs. Hospice care is reimbursable, but not all services provided in hospice care may be reimbursed. Ensuring the client has arrangements made for burial is a consideration but does not necessarily entail collaboration among the health care team members.
