Answer to Question 1

F
Calculating is a cognitive function that must be assessed carefully based on educational level and intelligence. Poor performance or excellent performance must be evaluated in conjunction with other factors.

Answer to Question 2

C
Responses A, B, and D address opportunities to talk to families. The nurses' station and telephone are poor choices because of the lack of privacy and likelihood of interruption. Referrals to a social worker are appropriate, but often the family just wants an opportunity to ask questions about the family member and the care the person is receiving. Inviting the family to a quiet room and setting a time limit for the conversation help the family and the nurse focus on the communication within an appropriate time frame.
