Answer to Question 1

B
Assessment documentation includes nursing observations, objectives, measurements, and what the resident did or said. Phoning the physician is an action tool that is not part of the assessment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Increased confusion and wandering are classic symptoms of relocation trauma. Residents who are having trouble adjusting to a new environment more often withdraw and do not become active in facility activities (responses A and D). The refusal to take a tub bath (response B) could be interpreted as a personal choice issue.
