Answer:

b) "Your doctor can prescribe medications necessary to relieve pain; however; this treatment will not hasten death."

Explanation:

When the terminally ill patient or the patient's legal proxy requests palliative sedation, the use of pharmacologic agents to induce sedation or near sedation when symptoms have not responded to other management measures), the purpose is not to hasten the patient's death but to relieve intractable symptoms. Palliative sedation may be controversial, but it is not illegal. Total sedation is rarely indicated in hospice care to provide comfort. Continuous pain assessments are not indicated at this stage; the patient requires intervention/treatment.

What are some things to consider when deciding to use free weights or machine weights
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Some things to consider: safety, Money, and specific muscles you want to work.

Explanation:

Free weights cost less money. People have used free weights on a weight bench and have not used a spotter. The free weights have fallen on them and killed them. A universal machine is more expensive. You can not drop a universal machine on yourself. The machine's aslo require little to no maintenance. A machine will basically always hit certain muscles, not due to you but down to how the machine is made. However free weights allow you to hit a larger variety of muscles as it's not isolated.
