Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Professional health care providers frequently neglect mentioning end-of-life provisions because they believe that death is a personal failure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The filing of advance directives relieves the family of making those decisions at a more stressful time. It also gives back control over terminal care to the terminally ill person.
