Answer to Question 1

2
An extension set is used to add length and additional medication ports to primary tubing. A stopcock is used to direct the flow of fluid in the intravenous line. A filter is used to eliminate air and particles that should not be infused into the client. A needleless access device is used at medication ports to add a layer of safety.

Answer to Question 2

4
The Medicare hospice benefit is a reimbursement benefit for those with a prognosis of 6 months or less to live (certified by a physician). The act does not mandate reimbursement to clients with terminal illnesses, physicians do not have to order hospice for reimbursement, nor does a client have to be eligible for Medicare for hospice eligibility.
