Answer to Question 1

D
The primary goal of palliative care is to help patients and families achieve the best quality of life. Providing support for the patient's nurse is not the primary obligation when the patient is experiencing severe pain. Not all collaborative team members would be able to provide postmortem care, as is the case for nutritionists, social workers, and pharmacists. Teaching about stages of grief should not be the focus when severe pain is present.

Answer to Question 2

D
An institution's policies, procedures, and job descriptions for UCPs provide specific guidelines regarding which tasks or activities can be delegated. UCPs are not allowed to perform acts au-thorized for RNs unless these tasks have been properly delegated by an RN, and only if they are within the UCP's job description and employer policy.
When delegated by another UCP is not an appropriate action.
When they perform tasks with another UCP is not an appropriate action.
When tasks are delegated by an RN is not an appropriate action.
