Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Hospice care refers to a program that supports the client and family through the dying process and the surviving family members through the process of bereavement. To qualify for hospice, the individual must be terminally ill with a life expectancy of 6 months or less.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
This scenario is an example of bargaining to prolong one's life. Denial serves as a temporary escape from reality. In the anger stage, the client appears difficult, demanding, and ungrateful. In the acceptance stage, the client has achieved an inner and outer peace due to a personal victory over fear.
