Answer to Question 1

Fibroids

Fibroids are benign tumors arising from the muscle tissue of the uterus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Dying a good death is a component of sound chronic care. It does not necessarily represent a failure of care nor does the near-death period mark the end of chronic care. Chronic care includes, but is not limited to, psychosocial interventions. Pain control and comfort care, for example, require pharmacological interventions that are still congruent with chronic care and the focus on healing and quality of life.
