Hospice care for terminal lung or liver cancer patients should focus on keeping the patient as pain-free as possible. Care should be taken to enhance the patient's quality of life, and facilitate as many good days as the patient has possible.

Should you bring a gift when visiting someone in hospice?
It would not hurt, but is not neccessary.
Is hospice only for the dying?
Not necessarily. Hospice and Palliative care are somewhat entwined. Someone with a possibly terminal illness, can benefit from Palliative care, in the sense that the symptoms and care options can be addressed to a specific patient. Rather than a general prognosis/treatment of the disease. No, in the hospice I worked at we also took people who needed a lot of care after treatment.
How is the hospice a better solution than euthenasia?
Because not everyone wants to be 'killed off' before their natural time ! Someone in a hospice who has (for example) Alzheimer's disease is rarely in pain, as it's a neurological condition. They can live a long (and maybe productive) life under the supervision of the hospice.
Home Hospice Care VS Hospice Facility?
Traditional hospital medicine is medicine related to hospital care. Hospital care means any aspect of caring for someone in the hospital setting, whether the person is expected to recover and be released, sent to another facility, or is expected not to live. Hospital care is geared toward the treatment and possible cure of an illness or ailment, with the hope that the person will recover. On the other hand, hospice care is the care of a person who has been diagnosed with terminal illness, and expects there not to be a cure for it. Therefore the hospice patient is receiving care that is geared toward ultimate comfort and improvement of quality of life during those final days or months of his life. This type of care is known as palliative care, or comfort care. It should be noted that not all palliative care is geared towards hospice patients: to care could also be geared toward patients who have a chronic condition that is also not curable, such as someone with cerebral palsy.

How can Hospice patient recognize family for only one day?
If someone is on Hospice it means that there days are very limited. So the fact that they recognized the family one day then not the next is just another sign of them leaving you. Usually this is the brain saying that the body is shutting down.

Can a nursing home and an assigned hospice care worker of the home be held liable for injuries suffering or the death of a resident if their prescribed medication is arbitrarily halted by someone?
yes, i cant see any reason for them not to be liable, if someone suffers death, injury or loss of sight, hearing ect. from medication in any way, the hospice can and should be held liable.
Does someone from Hospice stay with the dying person at the end?
Normally not as standard procedure. But, depending on circumstances, a nurse , SW, or chaplain may be there to help. Certainly, at time of death, someone should be sent.
Is someone who has a terminal disease and uses that illness to take advantage of other people a sociopath?
It's surely a possibility, but a proper and complete diagnosis would require much more information to determine a certainty.
