Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Interventions to address spiritual distress include praying with the patient upon request and as desired, finding someone to read the Bible to the patient upon request, contacting the patient's church for clergy to visit, and helping the patient identify factors that contribute to spiritual distress. Reminding the patient that spiritual needs are often addressed last will not help with the patient's spiritual needs at this time and would be inappropriate to include in the plan of care.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
