Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Giving warning before entering a client's room demonstrates respect for personal space. Knocking is not a demonstration of nonverbal communication. Knocking at a door before entering the room does not relate to respect for a client's confidentiality. Respect for a client's personal space should be demonstrated regardless of gender.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The elderly need control over personal space because they can become profoundly disoriented in unfamiliar environments. Individuals living in a Western culture need 86-108 square feet of personal space. Direct eye contact causes a need for more space. People need more space when they are anxious.
