Which statement is NOT listed among symptoms explicitly addressed under Symptom Management at End of Life?

• A. Delirium
• B. Dyspnea
• C. Fever
• D. Nausea

Answer: (D)

In end-of-life care, symptom management concentrates on the distressing symptoms most patients experience and for which there are clear comfort-focused interventions. Delirium, dyspnea, and nausea are all common targets in this area because they cause significant distress and have well-established strategies to relieve them (for example, addressing confusion, easing breathing difficulties, and antiemetic use).

Fever, while it can occur at the end of life, isn’t listed among the explicit symptom clusters under Symptom Management at End of Life. It’s more often considered in the context of infection assessment or general comfort rather than as a primary symptom management category. That’s why fever is not included in the symptom management list, making it the one that isn’t explicitly addressed there.
