Answer to Question 1

D
Teaching a group of patients requires a room that allows everyone to be seated comfortably and within hearing distance of the teacher. The room needs to comfortably hold all members of the group. Arranging the group to allow participants to observe one another (e.g., in a circle) further enhances learning.

D
Factors to assess regarding cultural and spiritual beliefs include the following areas/questions to explore: What do you believe about death? Who makes health care decisions in your family/culture? Tell me about your family's/culture's funeral practices.
