Home health versus hospice services
Question

- Blank 1 choices: home health / emergency trauma bay care / retail optical fitting / hospital cafeteria catering
- Blank 2 choices: hospice / employee payroll processing / facility laundry service / visitor parking enforcement
Answer
Blank 1: home health · Blank 2: hospice
Rationale
Case managers and staff nurses match goals to the right community service. Residence-based skilled visits and therapies describe home health, whereas comfort-focused support when death is expected describes hospice.
