Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Hepatitis B (HepB) is one of a large group of disorders that involves some form of inflammation of the liver. HepB is a serious disease and, typically, immunization for HepB is the first immunization received by a newborn.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The term hospice does not signify a specific care setting, but rather a philosophy of care. Hospice is based on the concept that most people want to die at home, free of pain, and among their loved ones. Physical and emotional comfort and quality of life are primary concerns of hospice, not cure. Hospice programs care for terminally ill persons, allowing them to die with dignity. The goal of hospice care is to provide as much pain relief as possible, while helping the client to meet basic needs.
