Answer to Question 1

D
Responses A, B, and C represent humanistic caring and would make the transition of moving into a new home easier. Response D is a mechanistic approach to caring. It is incorrect because it would require the person to discard items that he or she may wish to keep, making the transition more difficult.

Answer to Question 2

A
Family members and facilities must abide by the patient's wishes when those wishes are stated in a living will. Not even family members can make decisions for an incompetent patient with clear and convincing evidence of the patient's wishes. In this case, the clear and convincing evidence exists as a living will.
