Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Many residential treatment facilities have a licensed nurse on duty for at least part of the day. One of the functions of the nurse in such a setting is to supervise the setup and administration of medications and provide first aid care. In an ambulatory surgery clinic, the nurse would provide client education about procedures; in hospice, nurses provide pain medication and symptom relief. Working in private duty gives a nurse the opportunity to practice basic bedside and teaching skills and to meet one client's total needs.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Hospice nursing involves caring for clients, giving end-of-life care. Hospice nursing takes place in hospitals, long-term care facilities, other facilities (e.g., hotels, shelters, or prisons), or the client's own home. Nurses perform many roles in acute-care nursing and extended-care nursing and hospice care may be performed in these facilities. The nurse working as a travel companion may be on duty all the time and does not usually provide hospice care.
