Answer to Question 1

D
The cilia in the fallopian tubes assist to move the ovum along the path toward the uterus.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the caregiver to identify volunteers who will care for the client and allow the primary caregiver to enjoy brief periods away from home, as caring for the client can be very stressful. Arranging for home nursing visits and securing home equipment are all activities performed by the nurse caring for the client in home care but are not related to respite care. It would be uncaring to emphasize the client's need to care for himself or herself independently.
