Answer to Question 1

D
When comparing the spiritual needs of clients with cancer to the spiritual needs of their caregivers, research has shown that clients with cancer and their caregivers have similar spiritual needs. Both are facing a major crisis. The client may be experiencing fear of death or loss. The caregiver must also face the potential loss of the one cared for. Caregivers may also experience personal loss due to time commitment for the care of the ill person.

Answer to Question 2

A
Noncompliant people struggle for control. Serious illness is seen as a betrayal by the body. Patients wish to reassert control and prove mastery over their bodies.
