Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Palliative care may be instituted for clients who are not terminally ill.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The condom prevents the sperm from contact with the ova, and prevents fertilization. The IUD and hormonal contraceptives, including plan B, do not prevent fertilization but create a hostile uterine environment that does not allow implantation of the fertilized ovum.
