Answer to Question 1

A
Women are increasing in numbers among the homeless older adult communities. Approximately 30 of homeless older adults have mental illness or dementia.

Answer to Question 2

A
According to Maslow, physical needs take priority over other activities. This patient may be hungry, cold, tired, or need to use the bathroom. Telling the patient you'll try again later, asking if you should teach the family, and referring to home health care does not provide for any unmet physical needs.
