Answer to Question 1

A
Hospice care would not include any form of chemotherapy, which is a therapy generally intended to treat or cure cancer. Hospice care does involve pain and symptom management, nutritional counseling, physical/occupational/speech therapies, home health services for personal care, psychosocial and emotional support, grief counseling, and crisis care during medical emergencies.

Answer to Question 2

B
To assist a individual to relax, the nurse might begin by asking the individual to bring full attention to any task. By focusing on a specific task the individual can bring full attention to the task and determine if the task brings pleasant or negative feelings.
