Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hospice care is focused on the provision of comfort to the person who is approaching death. While hospice will assist with funeral planning as needed, it is not the focus of care. Hospice provides respite for the family, but hospice does not relieve the family of care duties.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
During times of acute illness, the family may become extremely distressed and focus only on the patient. The nurse can refer family members to an appropriate resource.
