Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: This is a standing order because it is supposed to be given every day until canceled or facility policy requires a reorder. A STAT order would require the medication be given once now. A single order would indicate that the order be given only once. A p.r.n. order would order the medication be given as needed.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The living will is referenced before CPR, intubation, or breathing support is begun, so that specific instructions from the client are followed.
