Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Receiving reports on assigned patients, making patient assignments, assessing all assigned patients, and conferring with team members are duties of the team leader. Assisting team members with medication administration is a duty of the team leader, not actually administering the medications to all the patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Morphine derivatives are popular drugs of choice when dealing with the hospice patient because they have a wide variety of modes of administration and provide good pain control.
