Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The most common advance directives are a living will and durable power of attorney for healthcare. The advance directive informs healthcare personnel about procedures the client requests to be performed or not to be performed if he or she becomes terminally ill, several healthcare codes are involved in these instructions that include DNR and DNI.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
An infected person should not share food or engage in kissing because this causes the disease to spread. Cleanliness and dryness are essential to promote healing; thus, the area should not be kept moist. Cotton underwear is useful; synthetic underwear is better avoided. The virus is small enough to penetrate a condom. Therefore, a condom offers no protection against the spread of the disease.
