Answer to Question 1

D
All members of the health care team are legally and ethically obligated to keep patient information confidential. Do not discuss the patient's examinations, observations, conversations, or treatments with other patients or staff not involved in the patient's care, unless permission is granted by the patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hospitalized older adults with functional disabilities often rapidly regress into a helpless state during hospitalization. Interventions that retain functional status include daily orientation cues for the patient, allowing the patient to be as independent as can be tolerated, and providing reassurance about the probability of transient delirium and the use of physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) daily.
Get the patient up and out of the room at least daily. Personalize the environment to make it more pleasant and comfortable. Medications with sedative or tranquilizing effects can increase the risk of falls.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
