Back to 1.6: Goals of Care Discussions

Pathway 1, Subject 6

Goals of Care Discussions

Solution: PALLIATE

Solves: 47 Guesses: 67

This is a metapuzzle that requires the previous five puzzles' solutions from this pathway. Arranging them in length order gives:

  • HAMLET (from Subject 2)
  • SYSTOLE (from Subject 1)
  • ASKLEPIOS (from Subject 3)
  • MANDMAUDIT (from Subject 4)
  • FREDHOLLOWS (from Subject 5)

Taking the letters indicated by the digits and using those digits to order them yields the solution PALLIATE, which is often an outcome of Goals of Care discussions.
