Answer to Question 1

A
Hospice care would not include any form of chemotherapy, which is a therapy generally intended to treat or cure cancer. Hospice care does involve pain and symptom management, nutritional counseling, physical/occupational/speech therapies, home health services for personal care, psychosocial and emotional support, grief counseling, and crisis care during medical emergencies.

Answer to Question 2

B
To assist a individual to relax, the nurse might begin by asking the individual to bring full attention to any task. By focusing on a specific task the individual can bring full attention to the task and determine if the task brings pleasant or negative feelings.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
