Answer to Question 1

Answer: C, D, E
Comfort is the experience of having needs for relief and ease met in four contexts: physical, psychospiritual, social, and environmental. Religion and friendship are encompassed in psychospiritual and social.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

When there is insufficient energy, the client is unable to focus on healing and lacks the ability to cope in stressful situations. Restful sleep, physical well-being, and appropriate diversion all promote a sense of comfort for the client.
