Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
These are all observations that would indicate that a therapeutic activity program has kept the client functioning at the highest level of which he is capable. The behaviors described in the other options are not realistic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Increased forgetfulness, particularly that involving former routine activities such as bill paying, is symptomatic of Alzheimer's disease. The other options do not indicate cognitive deficit.
