Answer to Question 1

D
Vascular dementia occurs from brain tissue becoming hypoxic and necrotic in local areas due to small emboli. The deficits may be intellectual or loss of sensory function.

Answer to Question 2

B
Coaching the patient to dress himself helps preserve dignity and function. Selecting clothes and dressing the patient does not allow the patient to actively participate in any way. Asking the pa-tient what he wants to wear and telling him to choose a shirt could increase confusion and inde-cision.
