Answer to Question 1

B
Health professionals can assist patients and families by providing information about the hospice benefit, particularly regarding the aggressive symptom management and family support. Organ donations must follow Social Security Act Section 1138 regarding written protocols for identification of potential organ donors and notification of organ recovery agencies. Advance directives can be taken care of at the hospital or legal firm. Euthanasia is also known as assisted suicide and is legal in Oregon, Washington, and Montana.

Answer to Question 2

B
Haloperidol is the drug of choice when treating delirium. Lorazepam has been associated with an increased incidence of delirium. Propofol is indicated for sedation use. Diazepam is not an appropriate choice for this patient.
