Answer to Question 1

1
Medical futility means that an identified therapy for a client has no medical benefit. Do-not-resuscitate means if a client stops breathing or the heart stops beating, resuscitation will not be provided. Active euthanasia is performing an action that ends a person's life. Assisted suicide is an action by a health care provider that assists a client in ending his or her life.

Answer to Question 2

Muchas Gracias :)
