Σύνοψη	The Comfort Care Checklist is a bedside verification tool designed to ensure comprehensive comfort and dignity in the final hours to days of life. Developed by hospice and palliative care organizations, particularly within the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC), the checklist systematically verifies that pain and other symptoms are managed, family is present and supported, spiritual needs are addressed, and documentation reflects the patient's and family's wishes—ensuring nothing essential is overlooked during the most vulnerable time.	The Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) is an 11-point clinician-rated functional assessment tool for patients with advanced, life-limiting illness. Developed by Anderson and colleagues in 1996, it measures overall performance status from 100% (normal) to 0% (death), integrating five domains of functional decline. The PPS is widely used in palliative care, hospice, and oncology settings to guide treatment intensity, prognostication, and care planning.
