Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
While enlisting the help of family to ensure the resident's safety may be useful, establishing a safe and defined area for the resident to wander is ideal and is preferable to chemical or physical restraint.

Answer to Question 2

A
More than 90 of breast cancers are detected by the patient. BSE for postmenopausal women should be done on the same day of the month each month.
