Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The patient has acute confusion and therefore an appropriate early goal as the confusion resolves is to remember where they are. Remembering to use a call light would be appropriate for Risk for falls. Using a calendar is appropriate for Impaired memory, and remaining in the unit is appropriate for Chronic confusion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Interacting with others during activities is an appropriate goal to help the patient not feel so alone. Cognitive exercise is a goal for a patient with disturbed thought processes. Communication of basic needs through the use of photos is a goal for a patient with a diagnosis of Impaired verbal communication, and remaining in the unit is appropriate for Chronic confusion.
