Answer to Question 1

3,4,5
Rationale: Drink chamomile tea. Chamomile tea has not been shown to affect alcohol use.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Shame and the fear of stigmatization may cause elders to be cautious and inhibit their ability to freely express feelings. More time may be needed with elders due to hearing loss, confusion, agitation, wandering, and communication problems. Information obtained from elders should also be validated with family and staff members to provide a complete picture; there is no reason to believe that these sources are inaccurate. Sitting close to the client and using touch when appropriate are helpful during individual interviews with elders due to possible sensory losses.
