Answer: the lessen the intensity of an illness Rationale: Palliative surgery is performed to help lessen the intensity of an illness; it is not meant to be curative but will help improve the client's quality of life. A diagnostic surgery makes or confirms a diagnosis such as with a biopsy to check for cancer. A removal of a body part that is diseased is ablative surgery, such as an appendectomy. Restoring function to traumatized tissue is reconstructive surgery, such as with plastic surgery.
