Answer to Question 1

B
The best way to show respect and implement the appropriate response is to follow the lead of the patient by waiting for the patient to extend a hand.

Answer to Question 2

A
Drugs should not be used to control behavior. If used to manage health conditions, the patient should show improvement. The patient who is now able to participate in activities shows an in-crease in functional ability, so this medication is therapeutic for this patient. The other patients are given drugs to control behavior.
