Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Morphine is used a great deal in acute care and in the hospice setting for dying patients who have severe pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adrenergic-blocking agents dilate the veins in smooth-muscle tissue in the peripheral vascular system and the uterus. This reduces cerebral blood flow and arterial pulsing, which reduces the headache pain.
