Annex D Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) Practice Test

Which statement about end-of-life care goals is accurate?

Management of resources is a key goal Comfort and symptom relief are primary goals Aggressive interventions are the main focus Delayed family support is prioritized

Correct Answer:

Comfort and symptom relief are primary goals

Explanation:

End-of-life care centers on reducing suffering and preserving quality of life. The statement that comfort and symptom relief are primary goals reflects this focus: actively easing pain, breathlessness, nausea, agitation, and other distressing symptoms, while respecting the patient’s values and preferences and supporting family and dignity. While decisions about resource use or avoiding aggressive treatments may shape the overall plan, they are not the primary aim of the care itself. The care plan is oriented toward what brings relief and comfort to the patient, not towards pursuing invasive measures at the end of life.
