The philosophy of hospice care is compatible with which of the following ideas about dying?

A) Withhold information about patient conditions and offer comfort.
B) Manage patient symptoms and let them maintain control of their care.
C) Continue all efforts to cure patients until their dying breath.
D) Encourage patients to adopt religion or maintain religious ties.

The philosophy of hospice care focuses on managing patient symptoms and allowing them to maintain control of their care, which is compatible with the idea of promoting comfort and quality of life for patients who are nearing the end of their life. Withholding information about patient conditions and continuing efforts to cure patients may not be appropriate in the context of hospice care, as patients are often aware that their condition is terminal and may have decided to transition to a palliative care approach. Encouraging patients to adopt or maintain religious ties may be important for some patients, but it is not necessarily a central focus of hospice care.
