Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In severe AD, the client is unable to sit upright without support. The client tends to sleep in the fetal position, rather than the prone position. The client's muscles become rigid and not flaccid. The client does talk to himself throughout the day. In severe AD, the client loses the ability to speak.
