Answer to Question 1

C
A mentally competent client has the legal right to refuse life-prolonging treatment.
According to section 241 of the Criminal Code (1985), it is an offence to aid a person to com-mit suicide, whether suicide ensues or not.
Withholding or withdrawing life-prolonging treatment is considered letting die, not killing.
Even if a client has not asked for the termination of life-prolonging treatment (either directly or by way of advance directive), physicians are still allowed, after consultation with family mem-bers, to terminate such treatment when it no longer offers any reasonable hope of benefit to the client.

Answer to Question 2

D
Vertigo is a result of vestibular dysfunction and often is precipitated by a change in head position. This disequilibrium can cause nausea and vomiting. The other options would not result in nausea based on movement.
