Answer to Question 1

C
The best choice of treatment often changes as the client's condition and the characteristics of pain change. It is realistic to expect that a terminally ill client's need for pain medication will change over time with disease progression.
The goal is not to oversedate the client, but to provide pain control without excessive sedation.
It would be unrealistic to expect that the pain of terminal cancer will be completely alleviated.
Analgesics should not be withheld, as this would only increase the client's level of pain. The medication regimen may require adaptation to meet the client's needs.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A The processes used in hemodialysis are osmosis, diffusion, and ultrafiltration.
B Pinocytosis is not a process used in hemodialysis.
C Active transport is not a process used in hemodialysis.
D Passive transport is not a process used in hemodialysis.
