Hospice care has a palliative focus without curative intention.
Explanation:
Hospice care refers to a type of health care (maintenance health care) given to patient that involving emotional and spiritual needs. It focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's pain and symptoms.
This type of health care is popularly given to people at the final phase of a terminal illness in order to give supportive care to them, to provide a comfort zone for them and equally offer a quality of life, rather than cure.
Hospice care is the maintenance care given to patients who has terminal illness. Although the focus is maintenance, it's sometimes can cure certain disease through short hospitalization such pneumonia and bladder infection. Hospice care focuses on given the patient comfort, improve quality of life but not to cure. It often involves several professionals such doctors, nurses, social workers and even clergy. They work together to minister to the emotional, social and spiritual need of the patient. It is generally home base but can also be in freelancing standing homes, nursing homes, within hospitals and other.
For this question it depends on each family and on the patient themselves. I suggest finding and talking to people with bipolar disorder and hear their experiences.
Cutting down on your consumption of nicotine over time until eventually your consumption is non-existent. if you quit cold turkey, you will go through withdrawals. Not fun.
