Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Putting oneself directly in front of the patient, as close as possible, helps the patient with diminished vision identify the speaker.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Touching, calling by name, and speaking in a calm and reassuring manner frequently cause the symptoms of delirium to abate and are beneficial to the delirious patient.
