Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Physical signs of approaching death include tactile sensation beginning to decrease, a change in respiratory pattern, and difficulty swallowing. Even though there is a sensation of heat, the body feels cool, not warm, and speech becomes slurred, not rapid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
Bodily injury, mutilation, and being left alone are all major fears of the preschooler. Altered body image and separation from peers are major fears in the adolescent.
