Answer to Question 1

C
In focusing on the psychological aspect of care, the nurse is most concerned about social isolation for a patient who may have difficulty communicating owing to visual and hearing impairment. Both self-care deficit and fall risk are physiological risks for the patient. Impaired physical mobility would not apply to this patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
