Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A client in the initial stages of AD loses the ability to concentrate. Concentration and orientation are affected initially in a client with AD. Memory of recent events, not long-ago events, are lost first in AD. The client developing AD would first lose the ability to complete complex tasks, not simple tasks. Deteriorating language skills, such as difficulty to remember everyday words, occurs later during the progression of the disease and not initially.
