ABSTRACT
Questions about nutrition and hydration are common in the context of the end of life. By end of life, we mean the terminal palliative phase, a particular period of organic fragility. These questions pose difficulties, insofar as the act of eating and drinking as a vital act has a symbolic, cultural and social dimension. They must be clarified with family members or even caregivers who are not familiar with these types of care.
