Gwen cоnfides thаt she is relying mоre оn her son for bаsic needs аround the house, such as preparing meals. She has not slept in her bed recently, partly due to inability to sleep lying flat and shortness or breath, but also because her bedroom is on the second floor and she becomes very "winded" when climbing stairs. She fears that she is losing independence and becoming more of a burden on her son.  Gwen states, “I can hardly get around my own house anymore or take care of myself. I don’t want to keep going back to the hospital, but I don't know how much longer I can go on like this.”   How would you respond to this patient? Is a palliative care referral appropriate for her? How does this differ from hospice? What misconceptions might the patient have surrounding palliative care?
