Care in a facility refers to which term?

• A. Inpatient hospice
• B. Hospice
• C. In-home hospice
• D. Bereavement

Answer: (A)

Inpatient hospice refers to hospice care provided in a facility, such as a dedicated hospice house or a hospital unit, where clinicians can offer around-the-clock symptom management and multidisciplinary support. This setting is chosen when the patient needs continuous monitoring and care that isn’t feasible at home. It distinguishes the location from other hospice options like care at home (in-home hospice) or hospice generally, which can occur in various places. Bereavement, on the other hand, is support offered to families after a loved one has died.
