Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E, F
Grandparents are usually caring for children because the parents are deceased, in prison, substance abusers, or mentally ill and cannot care for the children. The fact that children prefer to live with the grandparents or the grandparents may be better caregivers is not a main reason for this phenomenon to happen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Palliative care provides optimal symptom management in the setting of multiple chronic conditions. The relief and management of these symptoms help to promote improved quality of life for the patient and help to maintain physical functioning.
