Answer to Question 1

C
A myocardial infarction is the lack of blood flow due to obstruction to the coronary artery, which supplies the heart with blood. The ascending aorta is a vessel that leads from the heart to perfuse the brain. The pulmonary artery supplies blood to the lungs. The carotid artery supplies blood to the brain.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse must consider supporting family caregivers in order to develop better communication and problem solving for families. Building relationships for successful caregiving will improve care for the client.
Nursing home placement should not be the nurse's initial response to caregiver strain.
Arranging for the client to remain in the medical centre is not always feasible and does not ad-dress the problem of caregiver strain. It should not be the nurse's initial response in this situation.
The nurse should not make decisions for the family, but rather work with the family to problem solve.
