Question

What type of care is described as "end of life care"? O [a] Preventive [b] Hospice (c) Home health [d] Tertiary

Answer 1

The answer is B,

a, It is wrong it is not the end of life care it is preventive that is it is taken to the prevention of illness. For example, Vaccination is an example of a preventive method.

b, is right as it is Hospice Care designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain so that they live each day as fully as possible

C, Ir is wrong, as home health care is not the end of life care, as it is given to a patient following their hospital stay and discharge. Patients are sent home once their critical stage is over and no more require hospitalization, yet they may need less sophisticated medical or nursing care. A home nurse or community health nurse will provide this service until the patient achieves full recovery

d,Is also wrong, As tertiary care is specialized consultative health care, usually for inpatients and on referral from a primary or secondary health professional, in a facility that has personnel and facilities for advanced medical investigation and treatment, such as a tertiary referral hospital

Examples of tertiary care- cancer treatment, neurosurgery, burn treatment, plastic surgery, etc
