Answer to Question 2

C
Interpreters are not always available for patients and families that speak a foreign language. The staff is responsible for establishing the best level of communication possible. Quitting is not an option. The staff should use patience and understanding when working with language barriers. Palliative and hospice care rely on good communication.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
