Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Memory impairment is present and expected in stage 1 Alzheimer's disease. Data are not present to suggest the other diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Illusions are sensory misperceptions. Glasses and hearing aids help clarify sensory perceptions. Without glasses, clocks, calendars, and personal objects are meaningless. Round-the-clock lighting promotes sensory overload and sensory perceptual alterations.
