Answer: The hospice approach

Explanation: Hospice access is needed as in this case, when incurable cancer has been diagnosed and the focus is not on treatment, so with the outcome of the cure, but the focus is on relieving the patient's pain. It also involves meeting the various emotional needs of patients who know she is about to die and wants to spend her last days in a way that is comfortable for her with as little pain and as possible with her loved ones. This means that the interdisciplinary team will take care of the quality of patients' remaining life to spend her days as fully as possible, as well as like all other support during those days.
