Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
The main interests of patients nearing the end of life are pain and symptom control, financial and health decision planning, funeral arrangements, being at peace with God, maintaining dignity and cleanliness, and saying goodbye.

Answer to Question 2

The nurse should assess for new onset signs or symptoms of a decline from baseline function and then implement appropriate interventions before they trigger a downward spiral of dependency and permanent impairment.
