Answer to Question 1

A
Hospice care serves not only the dying patient but also the patient's family, finding out their needs and responding to them in a culturally sensitive way. Responses B, C, and D all are true statements about hospice care.

Answer to Question 2

T
Osteoporosis often causes compression of the vertebral column, leading to a bent-over or stooped posture. This posture allows less space for lung expansion and air flow.
