Which organization cares for people physically, emotionally and mentally, with illnesses in the last six months of life?

• A. Advance Directives
• B. Kubler Ross
• C. Hospice
• D. Primary aging

Answer: (C)

End-of-life care that focuses on comfort and quality of life is provided by hospice. This approach brings together a team to address physical symptoms like pain and nausea, plus emotional and mental well-being, spiritual concerns, and support for families. The goal is to support people in the last months of life when cure isn’t the focus, concentrating on relief of suffering and overall well-being. Advance directives are legal documents about future care preferences, Kubler-Ross refers to stages of grief, and primary aging describes normal aging processes—none of these describe an organization dedicated to holistic end-of-life care. Hospice fits the description exactly, offering interdisciplinary care in home or facility settings to address physical, emotional, and mental needs in the final phase of life.
