Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
An example of a worry of a family member might be that the cost of treatment may impoverish them or experience anticipatory grief that the patient may not be present for important milestones. It is not selfish of family members to have additional concerns of their own as they are also likely to share the patients' concern. It is useful for the patient to express his or her own feelings and it is important that the patient learns about the diagnosis, treatment plan, and prognosis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Compromised skin integrity makes a diabetic more susceptible to infection.
