Answer to Question 1

B
The dying patient is most likely to benefit from the care of the palliative care nurse by affording the patient as much control as possible, providing effective nursing care for symptom control and by providing continuity of care as the palliative care team directs total patient care. In providing control, the nurse asks the patient to determine activities and how time is spent.
Palliative care can indirectly benefit the patient by providing a better quality of life at the end of life, but palliative care does not provide for closure. Nurses use countercoping techniques to help the patient maintain composure. Cohesiveness is not one of the six needs of a patient who is dying.

Answer to Question 2

A, D
Tai chi and walking heel to toe are considered balance exercises. The use of resistance bands is considered muscle strengthening, and ROM activities are considered stretching exercises.
