Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E, F
Rationale: All the options except C and G should be considered. Accumulating enough money to
purchase clothing may be difficult. The woman should be advised to hide a small suitcase containing
a change of clothing for herself and each child. Taking a large supply of toys would be cumbersome
and might compromise the plan. Women are advised to take one favorite small toy or security object
for each child.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client whose intrinsic strength and endurance have been a hallmark often wishes to approach
dying by staying optimistic and in control. Helping the client use her own resources to meet
challenges would be appropriate. Option A is important for all clients, but less of a factor than
supporting use of the client's own strengths. Options B and C: This client would not find these
activities particularly meaningful.
