Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Roman Catholics believe that people should have the anointing of the sick, as well as the Eucharist and penance, by a priest before death. There are no special care rituals for the body after death.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
In the FICA model, C is for community. Topics to ask about in this area would include whether the client is actively involved with a church community and if he uses that community as a support.
