Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Lashing out or complaining about care may be a result of a client experiencing the anger stage of dying. Denial, bargaining, and depression would be less likely to motivate the client's hostile statement.

Answer to Question 2

B
Catheterization in a client who has gonorrheal urethritis should be avoided to prevent the infection from spreading to the genital organs.
