The wife of a patient with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) tells the nurse that she wishes her husband were eligible for hospice care but she thinks that hospice is only available for cancer patients.

Which responses by the nurse are appropriate? Select all that apply.
A) Inform her that hospice care is very expensive.
B) Tell her that, even though her husband has end-stage COPD, he is not eligible for hospice care.
C) Inform her that a diagnosis of cancer is not required for hospice care.
D) Inform her that all hospice programs provide 24/7 care.
E) Tell her that, even if her husband receives hospice care, he can remain under the care of his current physician.
