A nurse is approached by a resident in a long-term care facility who walks with a cane, has notable facial droop, and takes a long time to express what he wants to say. The best response by the nurse is to
 
  1. Face the individual and directly ask, What can I do for you?
  2. Loudly ask, What do you need?
  3. Use hand motions to determine whether the patient is hungry, thirsty, or in pain.
  4. Make eye contact, and say, I'll have the aide come to the room in a minute.

Question 2

A nurse is notified that a new admission is expected to the unit. The nurse is told that the patient is 101 years old and is being admitted from a nearby nursing home. An appropriate assumption is that
 
  1. The patient will be blind.
  2. The patient's risk for falls will be high.
  3. The patient will be confused.
  4. The patient will need complete care.
