Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should maintain a sense of humor, emphasize the positive, and focus on what can be done, not on the problem. The nurse should not try to predict the exact time of death. The nurse should also allow the client to be alone or stay with the client, depending on what he or she desires.

Answer to Question 2

B
