    Study Notes

    Advance Care Planning (ACP)

    • ACP involves the patient, their family, and their healthcare team to guide future healthcare decisions.
    • The process considers goals, values, and beliefs regarding end-of-life decisions.
    • ACP should begin early in the disease process to ensure a plan is in place for managing the patient's health decline.

    Documents to Consider

    • Power of Attorney: A legal document that gives another person the right to make medical decisions on the patient's behalf.
    • Living Will: A document that outlines the patient's preferences for future medical care, including resuscitation and life support preferences.

    Palliative Care

    • The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from an advanced illness, provide comfort and dignity, and relieve suffering.
    • Palliative care addresses medical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
    • Early access to palliative care is associated with an improved quality of life.
    • Symptom management is an important aspect of palliative care.

    When to Seek Palliative Care

    • Possible triggers for seeking palliative care include:
      • Swelling of the abdomen due to fluid buildup (ascites) that does not resolve with treatment.
      • Infection of the ascitic fluid (accumulated fluid in the abdominal cavity).
      • Kidney failure.
      • Impaired cognitive or worsening brain function.

    Hospice Care

    • Hospice care is a branch of palliative care that is directed towards individuals in their last 6 months of life.
    • The focus is on providing comfort and dignity rather than prolonging life with medical treatment.
