Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Clients with Alzheimer's disease are unable to draw a normal clock. As a test for Alzheimer's disease, clock drawing had a sensitivity of 86.7 and a specificity of 92.7. The clock drawing test is an easily administered, low-cost screening tool, which is useful. This should be the first action taken by the nurse to screen the client for Alzheimer's disease and take appropriate action as necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Both of these questions pertain to data collection for the family health tree. The family health tree can be used in planning positive familial influences on risk factors such as diet, exercise, coping with stress, or pressure to have a physical examination.
