Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Provision of intermittent skilled visits is a component of home health care nursing. Custodial care refers to the care given in long-term care facilities. Family caregiving may be an important role of keeping the client at home, but it is not a necessary component of home care. Palliative care is an extended continuum of chronic serious illness to acute serious illness during which stabilization and exacerbations may occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Cultures vary in their beliefs and responses to death. Nurses should know the differences in cul-tural responses so that they can effectively help people in their time of need. It will be important for the nurse to take cues from the client and the loved ones regarding their needs. The stress ex-perienced by dying patients is different based on the client's culture.
