Answer to Question 1

A
Asking questions about the extreme of the situation sometimes helps a confused person focus on the reality of here and now. Asking why (response B) is very distressing for a confused person. He or she does not recognize why. Response C is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

D
Stress is related to worsening of many disease processes. Response A is not the best answer. Older people can be immobilized by stress, but the functional disability is usually associated with a stress-related disease process. Responses B and C are incorrect. Stress management techniques do not reduce the amount of stress related to aging but assist the older adult in developing skills to deal with stress.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
