Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The hospice nurse does the nutritional assessment during admission.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Raising the head of the bed before transfer allows for gradual vessel accommodation from the supine position to the upright position. It is important to check the patient's blood pressure, but it will not reduce the incidence of postural hypotension. It is important to encourage the patient to get out of bed. Postural hypotension is related to a pooling of blood in the lower extremities and is not related to a fluid volume deficit.
