Answer to Question 1

C
A stuporous state is exhibited by a resident who is able to be aroused but returns to a sleep state. Response A, inability to respond to anything except deep painful stimuli, defines a coma. Responses B and D are incorrect. Semicomatose is a subjective term that is difficult to define. Lethargic is a description of behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response B is a measurable, realistic, specific, time-related, and attainable goal. Responses A, C, and D are not measurable, resident-centered goals.
