Answer to Question 1

B
Palliative care is not aimed at a cure but at symptom management and comfort. Pain medication, IV lines for hydration, and special bedding all are comfort measures. Chemotherapy is aimed at cure and is not palliative care.

Answer to Question 2

F
The age-related changes affecting the respiratory system are so gradual that most older adults compensate well.
