Answer to Question 1

D
The relief of pain and suffering are caring nursing actions that give a patient comfort, dignity, respect, and peace. By ensuring that the patient care environment is clean, reasonably quiet, and pleasant and inclusive of personal items, you make the physical environment a place that soothes and heals the mind, body, and spirit.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Microorganisms that cause tuberculosis, gonorrhea, and some forms of wounds and respiratory infections have developed drug-resistant strains. Sinusitis and cancer are not infectious diseases. Malaria is usually transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected female mosquito. Cancer is a disease characterized by disorderly division of cells. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses.
