Answer to Question 1

1
Addiction is not an issue in caring for the terminally ill.

Answer to Question 2

B
Mixed messages involve the transmission of conflicting or incongruent messages by the speaker. The patient's verbal message that all is well in the relationship is modified by the nonverbal behaviors denoting anxiety. Data are not present to support the choice of the verbal message being clear, explicit, or inadequate.
