Answer to Question 1

B
Cognitive assessment findings include forgetfulness/preoccupation, denial, and poor concentration. Emotional assessment findings include the lack of motivation to get up in the morning. Behavioral/lifestyle assessment findings include increased or decreased food intake.

Answer to Question 2

C
A furnace, stove, or fireplace that is not properly vented introduces carbon monoxide into the environment. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas produced by the combustion of carbon or organic fuels. This gas binds strongly with hemoglobin, preventing the formation of oxyhemoglobin and thus reducing the supply of oxygen delivered to the tissues (see Chapter 29). Low concentrations cause nausea, dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
