Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Hostility-related variables are regular and predictable emotions, attitudes, and behaviors in humans confronted with frustrating circumstances, unfair application of rules, unjust practices, discrimination, shaming, or humiliation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Delirium is the most common psychiatric syndrome in general hospitals, occurring in as many as 54 of elderly inpatients. Individuals with dementia are not immune to delirium and neither problem is related to inadequate coping. Dementia is not caused by stressors such as hospital treatment, though such circumstances may exacerbate symptoms of preexisting dementia.
