Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who has cancer and is receiving palliative care. Which of the following statements by the patient indicates an understanding of this type of treatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I am hoping this will limit my discomfort and give me the best quality of life for me." This statement reflects an understanding of palliative care, which focuses on symptom management, comfort, and improving quality of life rather than curing the underlying disease. It shows that the patient recognizes the goal of the treatment is to provide relief from pain and other distressing symptoms associated with cancer, rather than aiming for a cure or prolonging life.
Choice A is incorrect because palliative care does not aim to cure the disease or prolong life significantly.
Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on a strict dietary plan, which may not be the primary focus of palliative care.
Choice D is incorrect as it suggests the patient wants to stop treatment, which may not align with the goals of palliative care.
