Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Flavonoids inhibit enzymes that synthesize eicosanoids and interfere with the inflammatory process. Sources of flavonoids include red, purple, and blue fruits such as berries and their juices, green tea, and chocolate. Grapefruit is not considered a flavonoid.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A rapid onset of cognitive changes is indicative of delirium. Personality and language changes, deterioration in motor skills, and changes attributable to an organic change such as a tumor are more closely associated with dementia.
