Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hospice organizations work with dying individuals and family members to focus specifically on the needs of the terminally ill.Activities for the dying are designed to promote comfort,maintain quality of life,provide spiritual care,and ease the emotional burden of death.Long-term rehabilitation facilities provide activities to restore a patient to a previous state (e.g.,after a knee or hip surgery).Although providing hygiene and nutrition for someone unable to do so independently may be an activity provided by hospice,it is not exclusive to the hospice setting.Care provided to patients after any surgical procedure does not indicate that the patient is dying.
