First Question (Care Term)

• Curative Care: Focuses on curing the disease, not just comfort.
• Hospice Care: For end - of - life, no hope of recovery.
• Medical Futility: About treatments being ineffective, not comfort - focused with recovery hope.
• Palliative Care: Provides comfort/symptom relief while aiming for recovery (done with other treatments for the diagnosis). So this matches.

• Option 2: Emergency care and insurance is not related.
