Catholic AnswerThere is not a specific sacrament for the dying, I believe what you are referring to used to be known as Last Rites. Last Rites consists, if possible, of confession, Anointing, Holy Communion, and the Last Blessing, which amounts to three Sacraments plus the Blessing. The Last Blessing follows the Sacrament of Anointing (used to be called Unction or Extreme Unction) and the priest imparts the Apostolic Blessing which gives a plenary indulgence to the dying person.

The Blessed Sacrament is the consecrated host (circular piece of unleavened bread) which is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, second person of the Trinity. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is a ceremony during which the Blessed Sacrament is set by the priest into a monstrance for adoration. The monstrance is a blessed, golden container used to hold the Blessed Sacrament. In its center is a circular space where the Blessed Sacrament, in a glass case, is set. Around this center is gold, usually sculpted into long thin pieces that radiate like light from the center where the Blessed sacrament is. This container for the Blessed Sacrament is held upright on a golden pedestal, which is part of the monstrance. During the ceremony called Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the priest exposes the host by setting it in the monstrance, and the monstrance is set on the altar in the church. Thus people can come and kneel and adore Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, which is held exposed in the monstrance.
If the Blessed sacrament is within a closed tabernacle it is proper to genuflect, or in some circumstances make a reverential bow. When the Blessed Sacrament is exp[osed for Eucharistic Adoration one should kneel on both knees upon entering or leaving the area where the Exposition is located.
