Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Demonstration of bathing techniques may help the family meet the dying patient's physical needs but would not provide psychological support.
B Application of oxygen devices may help the family meet physical needs for the patient but would not provide psychological support for the patient.
C A dying patient's family is better prepared to provide psychological support if the nurse discusses with them ways to support the dying person and listen to needs and fears.
D Information on when to contact the hospice nurse is important knowledge for the family to have and may help them feel they are being supported in caring for the dying patient. However, contact information does not help the family provide psychological support to the dying patient.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Proper disposal of wasted narcotics involves washing liquids down the sink and tablets down the toilet. This prevents others from accessing the wasted narcotics. Placing the syringe in the sharps container is not recommended; it could be accessed inappropriately. Once a medication is opened, it cannot be returned to the medication dispenser and must be wasted. Locking the narcotics in a secure cabinet is not a proper method of disposal; they could be accessed by someone other than the nurse. Throwing tablets into the trash is unsafe because pills may be recovered by inappropriate persons.
