Answer to Question 1

D
The distracters represent objective data, whereas the correct answer reflects feelings the patient has revealed.

Answer to Question 2

B
Reorientation in this case presents a demand that exceeds the patient's capacity to function and creates stress. In this situation, it would be more humane to visit the patient and communicate love and acceptance without being concerned about whether or not the patient can remember names.
