Answer to Question 1

C
In late-stage dementia, the client often seems to have forgotten how to eat, chew, and swallow.
Nutrition and hydration needs must be met if the client is to live.

Answer to Question 2

C
Validation therapy meets the client where she or he is at the moment and acknowledges the
client's wishes. Validation does not seek to redirect, reorient, or probe.
The other options do not validate client feelings.
