1. The mission of Project GRACE includes promoting the belief that all persons are entitled to humane and dignified end-of-life care in keeping with their personal wishes, values, and spiritual beliefs and empowering individuals to communicate and implement their specific end-of-life decisions. True False

2. As long as there is the possibility of prolongation of life, physicians are ethically bound to use any available technology to extend the patient’s life. True False

3. The recognition of medical futility and the appropriate shift from futile, curative treatment to palliative care as a means of a “good death” may be the greatest gift a physician can give to his or her patient. True False

4. The traditional physician-patient-family decision-making process has become threatened by the erosion of trust that society holds for physicians and by expanding technology, which has made the recognition of medical futility increasingly difficult. True False

5. The cardinal goals of medical care are (1) to relieve physical and emotional pain and suffering; (2) to enhance the quality and functionality of life; and (3) to extend the length of life. True False

6. When caring for patients, physicians are bound by the ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. True False

7. A common obstacle to futility decisions is when a patient or surrogate believes his or her right to decide on treatment extends as much to demands to receive treatments as it does to forego treatment. True False

8. A lot more time is typically required of physicians to continue to deliver aggressive, “curative” care to the dying patient than to effectively counsel the family that the patient’s condition is incurable and that palliative care is appropriate. True False

9. One of the most common errors in end-of-life care is that medical futility is never acknowledged by anyone. True False

10. Patients and surrogates should have primary responsibility for making decisions about choices of effective medical possibilities while physicians should make value judgments. True False
