Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The hospice interdisciplinary team includes the medical director, nurse coordinator, social worker, and spiritual coordinator. The interdisciplinary team does not include a psychologist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Circulating the air with a fan, administering a tranquilizer to decrease anxiety, providing good oral hygiene, and raising the head of the bed 30 degrees are all interventions that can aid in relieving air hunger in the dying patient. Suctioning will increase mucus production, which will make the dyspnea worse.
