Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Returning veterans may experience cognitive difficulties such as concentration problems and memory loss. Other complications can include sleep deprivation, migraine headaches, or insomnia. Poor concentration can also result in an increase in trauma from accidents. Constipation and diarrhea are not commonly associated with this population.

Answer to Question 2

B
The number of prescription medications a client is taking is not one of the factors that contribute significantly to the psychological status and physical functioning of older community-dwelling adults living with osteoarthritis. Rather, such research has shown that pain, hardiness, and social support were the significant contributors to psychological status and physical functioning.
