Answer to Question 1

A
Antibiotics are used to treat infection and therefore would be withheld in the care of a patient who has designated that life-sustaining treatment should be withheld. The medications in the other options promote comfort and would continue to be administered.

Answer to Question 2

B
One method used by persons recovering from addictions is a personal check-in technique called HALT. HALT is a reminder to ask oneself, right now: Am I Hungry? Am I Angry? Am I Lonely? and Am I Tired? In this way, a simple acronym becomes a means for internal self-assessment that can be prescriptive for relief interventions.
