Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The appointment of a guardian to grant consent for an incompetent individual is the responsibility of the court. When a patient's competency is questionable, staff should encourage family members to seek legal guardianship. Power of attorney is a mechanism used by competent individuals to appoint someone else to make decisions for them.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Some decline in the cranial nerves mediating taste is a normal, age-related change, though complete disappearance of taste would constitute a pathological finding. Some loss of taste acuity is not necessarily indicative of oral disease.
