Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A family history of Down syndrome is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Autism is not a noted risk factor and both polypharmacy and poorly controlled blood sugar could contribute to delirium, not dementia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Monitoring of heart rate and lung sounds is an appropriate self-care activity for older adults. Changing medication dosages and beginning a course of antibiotics are not safe or appropriate actions, while detailed monitoring of intake and output is unnecessary.
