Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale: Identification of any medication allergies is vital prior to administration of any medication.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: When caring for a client who is terminal, the focus of care is placed on learning more about the client so needs and wishes can be met to the greatest degree possible. The client does not need to maintain activity, and only the client can determine if talking with distant relatives is at all important to him. The treatment regimen is usually discontinued once the client is determined to not be responding and is judged terminal.
