Mrs  Hong’s daughter Yu Yang visits her mother daily and assists with bringing in Asian food for Mrs Hong. At times  however, Mrs Hong still finds it challenging to interact with other residents and staff and can become quite  upset and distressed, especially if her daughter is late with her food. 

5 months ago, it was noted that Mrs Hong had a deformity in her right breast. On examination it was  determined that Mrs Hong had stage 3C breast cancer. Mrs Hong and her daughter Yu Yang were provided  with information relating to the condition and the options available and have decided to opt for palliative  care. Mrs Hong does not want any active treatment and an advanced care directive has been completed with  her instructions. In the last 2 days, Mrs Hong has shown signs of deterioration with her condition, is unable  to eat or drink and is confined to bed. She remains conscious at present and her daughter Yu Yang is with her  for most of the day.
