Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
In recent years, nurses and other health care professionals raised concerns about the need to improve end-of-life care in hospitals. Much of this concern is associated with poor communication between professionals and families about end-of-life decision making. Creating a script can help with that specific need, but the clients continue to experience pain, indignity, social isolation, and uncomfortable symptoms related to ineffective and unwanted life-sustaining treatments, particularly in intensive care units. Interprofessional communication will also help; the priority is between staff and families.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Dyspnea is a common accompaniment to the dying process. Hyperglycemia, hemoptysis, and tissue necrosis are less common.
