Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
It is important that privacy is respected, family members are welcomed, and a homelike environment is maintained. Staff members should be resident-focused, not task-focused. Rooms should be maintained like a home instead of like a hospital.

Answer to Question 2

Impaired cognition includes problems in thinking, impaired concentration, and impaired information processing.
