Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale: Increases levels of dopamine. Meditation increases levels of dopamine and decreases mood disturbance and stress symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Exercise and movement therapies such as Tai Chi can help induce relaxation, maintain flexibility, and restore balance in older clients. Pet therapy and social support groups are more commonly used with older adults who lack social supports or effective coping skills and do not restore balance. Older adults living in the community tend to have higher functional ability, greater social interaction, and cognitive abilities than older adults in long-term care facilities and are less likely to require reality orientation.
