Answer to Question 1

D
The patient is only able to partially empty the bladder. Because of a distended bladder, the patient experiences pressure, discomfort, and tenderness over the suprapubic area. Urinary output is also an indicator of bladder function. Patients who have not voided for longer than 3 to 6 hours, and have had fluid intake recorded should be evaluated for urinary retention. In some patients just helping them to a normal position to void prompts voiding.

Answer to Question 2

B
Members of religious faiths that believe in reincarnation (e.g., Hindu religion) support refusal of nourishment and pain medications because of the implications for the dying person's next life. Orthodox Jews stay with a person who is dying throughout the entire process and have community members (minyan) praying at the bedside. Members of the Catholic Church often receive an anointing by a priest and Holy Communion. Christians usually believe in heaven or an afterlife.
