Palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms and stress related to serious illnesses, such as pain, dyspnea, and nausea (A), promoting acceptance of death and the process leading to it (B), and improving or maintaining the quality of life for the patient and their family (E). It does not typically involve aggressive life-saving measures like CPR (C) or monitoring mechanical ventilation machines (D), which are more aligned with curative or intensive care.
