Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Hallucinations occur frequently in dementia and are usually visual or tactile (they can also be auditory, gustatory, or olfactory). Visual, rather than auditory, hallucinations are the most common type in people with dementia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The nurse determines that the client least likely to commit suicide is the client who is married. Single, older men living in a rural area have the highest rates of suicide. Unmarried, unsociable men between the ages of 42 and 77 years with minimal social networks and no close relatives have a significantly increased risk for committing suicide. Women are less likely to complete a suicide but are more likely to attempt suicide. Marriage has been identified as a protective factor against mental disorders in older adults.
