Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Depression is a risk in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Although the husband may not want to mention the signs to his wifeshe may merely be trying to be more organizedhe should not ignore them himself, but be alert for further problems. Supplements may be too late if she already has Alzheimer's disease, and their worth has not been proved. At this stage, there is little use having blood work.

Answer to Question 2

C
