Σύνοψη	The Needs Assessment Tool for Palliative Care (NAPC) is a comprehensive, multidomain assessment framework designed to systematically identify unmet palliative and supportive care needs in patients with advanced illness and their families. Rather than a numerical scale, the NAPC functions as a structured clinical interview and resource allocation guide, helping palliative care teams deliver holistic, person-centered care by addressing physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and practical dimensions simultaneously.	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.
