Answer to Question 1

D
Generativity (40 to 65 years) (middle adulthood): concerned with caring for and guiding others
Autonomy (1 to 3 years) (toddlerhood): beginning independence
Identity (puberty to 12 to 20 years) (adolescence): integrated sense of self
Initiative (3 to 6 years) (preschool): trying out new things

Answer to Question 2

B
Differences in beliefs, values, and traditional health care practices are relevant when planning end-of-life care. It is the nurse's responsibility to become familiar with the client's personal and cultural views so as to provide the most effective and appropriate end-of-life care.
While it is important to make every effort to involve the client and his or her family in the end-of-life care, it is not the best available option, because understanding the client's cultural and personal views will facilitate all other offered options.
Arranging for end-of-life care to be provided by health care professionals familiar with the cli-ent's culture may not always be practical or possible.
While sharing the client's concerns regarding the dying process with his or her interdisciplinary care team is important, it is not the best available option, because understanding the client's cul-tural and personal views will facilitate all other offered options.
