Answer to Question 1

D
For members of the sandwich generation, caregivers who are 30 to 50 years old who are often caught in the middle of caring for their own immediate family, as well as a parent with cancer, the demands are many, from providing ongoing encouragement and support and assisting with household chores to providing hands-on physical care when cancer is advanced.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse needs to begin discharge planning when the patient enters the health care system. The nurse cannot wait until after surgery to begin to plan for discharge. In addition, the discharge plan is always individualized to the patient and directed at meeting the actual and/or potential needs of the patient.
