Answer to Question 1

D
Skinner discovered that certain patterns of intermittent reinforcement were associated with very good long-term adherence to the desired behavior. By providing surprise public verbal praise and prizes, the individual never knows when a reward will occur. Behavior will most likely persist with the intermittent nature of the rewards.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse should continue to question the client to further assess the situation. If elder abuse is confirmed, the nurse should then contact the protective services.
