Answer to Question 1

B
Fibroid uterine tumors occur most frequently in women over 30 and those who have not had children. Menorrhagia (excessive menstrual flow) is the primary manifestation; other symptoms include increasing pelvic pressure, dysmenorrhea, abdominal enlargement, and constipation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Dying with dignity means the process by which the nurse cares for dying clients with respect, no matter what their emotional, physical, or cognitive state. This does not always entail an emphasis on hope. Some clients and families may benefit from education on the stages of dying but this is not universally the case. It is simplistic to prioritize nonphysical needs at all times and for all clients.
