Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Pertinent questions for the nurse to ask include whether the patient can participate in planning care, which symptom is most distressing, and what specific, measurable, and achievable goal does the patient have.

It should not be assumed that the patient is relating symptoms to procure medications.
