Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When communicating with individuals in a bed or wheelchair, position yourself at their level and directly face them rather than talking over a side rail or standing above them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Useful strategies for communicating with individuals experiencing cognitive impairment include giving one-step directions, allowing time for the expected response, and giving clues and cues as to what you want the person to do. It is also helpful to interact with one person at a time and to speak slowly rather than loudly.
