Answer to Question 1

A
Memory encoding involves the ability to mimic or repeat stated information immediately after receiving the information. Recall (response B), short-term memory (response C), and memory retention (response D) all require that a longer time pass and that the information be internalized.

Hospice volunteers or workers often assist a person in expressing his or her desires for funeral plans, but they do not arrange funerals. Responses A, C, and D all are services that a hospice would provide.
