Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Although listening for intent is appropriate, the high priority is to devise a method of communication that allows the patient to express requests or needs. Recovery continues for years and improvement can occur, albeit slowly.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Maintaining weight and cholesterol levels within their ideal range, avoiding cigarette smoking, effectively managing stress, driving safely, and controlling infections can prevent some neurologic conditions. While using a seat belt reduces risk, it does not eliminate it. Any person who is sexually active is at risk for STIs, including the aged.
