Answer to Question 1

3
Subculture refers to the membership in a smaller group within a larger culture. Membership in a Japanese information technology professionals group is an example of a subculture. The Japanese information technology professionals group is not an example of an ethnic group, cultural norm, or personal preference.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4
Common symptoms of the client receiving hospice care include pain, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, urinary urgency and incontinence, insomnia, confusion, delirium, anxiety, and depression. Aggression, increased appetite, and urinary continence are not symptoms typically assessed in a client receiving hospice care.
