Answer to Question 1

1. Age

Rationale:
Growing older is the greatest risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease. The combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors also affect the risk. Some genetic mutations on specific chromosomes have been shown to cause Alzheimer's disease but these genes account for less than 5 of all cases of Alzheimer's disease. Epidemiological studies have also shown some increased risk related to history of previous head injury.

Answer to Question 2

D
Principles to manage pain include assess the pain, treat the contributing factors, choose the least invasive route of administering medication, administer medications around the clock, keep patients in control of their own analgesia as much as possible, and titrate doses to provide maximum pain relief and minimum side effects.
