Answer to Question 1

B
Hypervigilance is a common symptom of PTSD and leads to difficulty with relaxation. Music can soothe if it is not overpowering. Jazz is mellow and would not contribute to hyperarousal. Rap, rock, and hip-hop would be overstimulating.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because memory is impaired, an individual with dementia cannot learn easily, so maintaining functioning as long as possible is important. The patient's abilities are expected to decline over time. Use of the word optimum suggests the changing nature of the level of functioning. Individualizing care and promoting esteem and confidence are of lesser importance than maintaining optimal function.
