Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Option C is the only question that directly addresses healing options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Disruptions in ability to perform activities of daily living, confusion, and anxiety are often apparent
in clients with amnesia. Offering simple directions to promote activities of daily living and reduce
confusion helps increase feelings of safety and security. Option A: This option does not provide the
structure or support often required by clients with amnesia. Option C: Probing is not a recommended
strategy for a client with amnesia. Option D: Clients with amnesia need a balanced activity schedule
that allows for rest because they often feel fatigued.
