Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A variation of multigenerational housing has long existed in what has become known as granny flats. These may be apartments added to existing homes or the construction of small housing units on family property with privacy as well as sharing of time and resources. Such arrangements allow families to be close enough to be of assistance if needed but to remain separate. A room within the home may not allow the family member the personal freedom they want and are capable of while the care provided by the residential care facility may not be required by the individual. A house may be too much of a commitment for this individual.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The correct options are reflective of symptoms of potential coronary heart disease; poor concentration, change in personality, changes in bowel habits, and disturbances in gait and balance. Weight loss rather than weight gain is seen in coronary heart disease.
