Answer to Question 1

Nonfluent aphasia
Patients often struggle to articulate a word and seem to have lost the ability to voluntarily control the movements of speech. Difficulties are experienced in communicating orally and in writing.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse uses the RAPs to assess triggers identified from the MDS. To help the resident achieve optimal functional status by determining his strengths, needs, and preferences, RAPs provide an organized framework used by the health care team for additional assessment of the trigger. The nurse develops the care plan after completing the RAPs. The nurse assigns suitable nursing in-terventions to the plan of care. The nurse uses agency-approved policies to provide care as as-signed in the plan of care.
