Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Constant reorientation and control of excessive stimuli becomes an important part of the client's care. Although the remaining options may have value, they are not the most therapeutic because external stimulation is the most likely cause of the problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
A concern with normal age-related sensory changes is that older adults with a deficit are some-times inappropriately diagnosed with dementia or depression. The remaining options assume that depression may be the cause of his personality change.
