Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Maintaining a nonjudgmental attitude may reassure the patient and allow him to be more honest in his responses to the admission assessment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
CCRCs offer a complete range of health care services, from independent living to 24-hour skilled nursing. In most cases, signing a contract with a CCRC is a lifetime commitment.
