Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, E
Concepts related to death, dying, and end of life have changed since the early 1900s. At that time, death was a common occurrence in infants, children, youth, and young adults. Communicable diseases were common. Families provided care. Accidental deaths were common, and death was accepted as an inevitable and normal part of life.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Nurses can help people who are dying and their caregivers express their needs by using open, honest, direct, and empathetic communication. Nurses use ongoing assessment to meet the needs of their clients. The statements by the nurse should center on the client and not the nurse. Presence is an appropriate intervention; the nurse should not assume that they desire to be alone.
