Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
The OASIS was implemented to provide the format for a comprehensive assessment, which forms the basis for planning care and measuring patient outcomesbased quality improvement (OBQI) (CMS, 2011). As with all other documentation systems, OASIS is used to improve both the quality of care and the communication about the individual and serve as a guide for reim-bursement. The OASIS assessment does not evaluate the level of patient disability; however, a portion of the assessment addresses the functional capabilities of the patient to perform activities of daily living.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E, F

a. a. Correct. Older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) can benefit from regular exercise as demonstrated by more positive affect and mood, improved function, and less disability. Suitable exercises for older adults with AD include exercises to improve balance.
b. b. Incorrect. Endurance, strength, and balance exercises help to improve patients with AD more than walking.
c. c. Incorrect. Self-paced exercises are unlikely to be suitable for a patient with AD be-cause of cognitive dysfunction.
d. d. Correct. Exercises to improve endurance are suitable for an older adult with AD.
e. e. Correct. Exercises for muscle strength are suitable for an older adult with AD.
f. f. Correct. Research data support the claim that exercise programs lasting 16 weeks can help to improve function and mood of older adults with AD.
