MCQ 13: Palliative Care in NonMalignant ConditionsWhich of the following conditions is LEAST likely to benefit from early palliative care involvement?A. End-stage heart failureB. Advanced COPDC. Motor neuron diseaseD. Uncomplicated hypertensionE. End-stage renal diseaseAnswer: Uncomplicated hypertensionExplanation: Palliative care is beneficial in various non-malignant, life-limiting conditions. End-stage heart failure, advanced COPD, motor neuron disease, and end-stage renal disease all have unpredictable trajectories and significant symptom burdens that can benefit from early palliative care involvement. Uncomplicated hypertension, while requiring medical management, does not typically warrant palliative care input as it's not a life-limiting condition in itself and doesn't usually cause significant symptom burden.
