Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) may be used, so the client can self-administer opiates. Even though large doses of narcotics are given, physicians usually do not feel the need for concern about drug abuse or dependency. Generally, just before death, pain may ease or disappear and not increase, often indicating impending death. Alternative medicines, such as homeopathy, use of flower essences or essential oils, herbal remedies, or various traditional cultural remedies, have proved helpful for many clients.
