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.
