Question 1 of 5
An oncology patient is admitted to the nursing unit under hospice care Which medication should the nurse anticipate that the health-care provider will order?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Palliative therapy. In hospice care for oncology patients, the focus is on providing comfort and symptom management rather than curative treatment. Palliative therapy aims to improve the quality of life by addressing pain, nausea, and other distressing symptoms. Prophylactic antibiotics (choice
A) are used to prevent infections, curative therapy (choice
B) is not appropriate in hospice care, and diagnostic medication (choice
C) is not necessary as the patient's diagnosis is already known.
Therefore, the most appropriate choice for an oncology patient in hospice care is palliative therapy.
