Answer to Question 1

B, D
Global amnesia wipes out all memory. Orientation and family pictures will not be helpful. Activ-ities that stimulate the senses, such as music, stroking an animal, or aroma therapy, can be pleas-ing.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
The Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE) is a popular shortened version of the mental status ex-amination that was developed by Folstein and colleagues in 1975 . It can be used for patients who have cognitive disorders or thought disorders to assess orientation, memory, and ability to follow commands. It consists of 11 easily scored items and should take about 5 to 10 minutes to admi-nister. The MMSE does not measure insight or judgment.
