a relative is in end of life care for terminal cancer in the hospital and received a blood transfusion today. I was just wondering why?

I couldn’t really get an understandable answer from the nurse. Why would you need a blood transfusion, what would it do when the patient is likely to die in the next few days? Thanks.

It’s not to save them or prolong their life, but to make them suffer less from the process of dying.

Yes, they will die either way, but that bag of blood will make the dying less painful.
