Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Appropriate nursing actions for a violent/physically abusive elderly person include getting help to protect self and others; and avoiding putting persons in situations that trigger behaviors. Elderly persons do not necessarily have weakened physical conditions and may harm themselves or others, especially if the person feels threatened. Scheduling time for supervised walking is an appropriate intervention for wandering.
