b. Terminally ill (expected to die within 6 months).

Answer: b
Feedback: A hospice is a health care facility that specializes in providing end-of-life care to those who are terminally ill. A home health agency would provide care to a patient who is homebound. A birthing center might provide care to a pregnant woman getting ready to deliver her baby, and a behavioral health or psychiatric facility would provide care to those with diagnosed psychological conditions.
