摘要：
Palliative care should be part of the expertise of physician assistants caring for older adults. Palliative care is an integrated, holistic approach to patients with severe and terminal illness, whereas hospice is a defined benefit for patients with a life expectancy shorter than 6 months. If an older adult lacks decision-making capacity, a family member needs to act as surrogate. That person should use the principle of substituted judgment, advocating for what the patient would decide in that situation.
