Answer to Question 1

C
Ginkgo is commonly used for cerebral insufficiency. It is believed to increase cerebral blood flow through vasodilation. This medication may interact with anticoagulants and antiseizure medication, leading to an increased risk of bleeding and seizures.

Answer to Question 2

3. Turn the temperature down on the hot water heater

Rationale:
Turning the temperature down on the hot water heater will help to prevent accidental burns when bathing or washing dishes. Using therapeutic measures to decrease agitation is recommended for clients with high risk for other-directed violence. While a routine daily schedule and orientation aids will structure the client's environment to promote optimal orientation, they will not necessarily improve environmental safety.
