Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, F
Relaying that the cost of hospice is more than the cost of hospital care is inappropriate for the nurse to convey to the family. Usually the nurse does not know comparative costs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, F
These agencies are part of the USPHS, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services. The American Cancer Society is a voluntary agency. The Veterans Administration is an official agency, but it is not under the USPHS.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
