Answer: C - Hospice care is the type of care provided to individuals facing end-of-life needs, such as terminally-ill patients.

A person facing end-of-life issues (such as a terminal illness) is likely to receive hospice care. Acute care is similar to that received in a hospital for the treatment of illness or injury that one is expected to recover from. Chronic care may be long-term in nature, of which skilled nursing may be a part.
