Answer to Question 1

C
A quality hospice program is sensitive to all cultures, values, and beliefs and has an interdisciplinary team of experts in state-of-the-art care of dying persons with small patient-to-caregiver ratios. Hospices are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and are responsive to family and patient needs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Talking with Mrs. Powell about her fears and concerns is a critical aspect of giving caring and holistic nursing care. Responses A and C may provide supplemental information for Mrs. Powell about her condition, but they do not replace the role of the nurse to listen to and address the patient's concerns. Response B can be helpful in keeping the patient calm but does not resolve her underlying concerns.
