Answer to Question 1

B
Many patients with respiratory illness feel a loss of control over their lives because of their symptoms. They may become demanding and controlling in dealing with their families and friends. Well-being is enhanced by having some control over one's life. The other options relate to the caregivers.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Quality of life was measured by the Missoula-Vitas Quality of Life Index (MVQOLI), an in-strument designed specifically for use with terminally ill patients. The MVQOLI determines le-vels of symptom distress, patient ability to function, social support, affairs in order, and religious comfort or support. Asking about why the patient never married is not appropriate at this time.
