Answer to Question 1

D
High noise levels can lead to distorted perceptions, altered thinking, and sensory overload. Calm music, the sound of ocean waves, or a light rain can produce relaxation. When noise levels become too intense, clients tend to become distracted and agitated. Turning up the volume on the television, bringing him to a crowded nurses station, and keeping him in the lounge do not decrease noise levels and may increase his agitation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Word salad is verbal communication in which a series of unrelated words with no connection is used. Neologism is words or expressions invented by the individual. Flight of ideas refers to rapid flow of speech along with a rapid change of topics; and verbigeration is purposeless repeating of phrases.
