Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C

Feedback:

Development of pulmonary emboli and pulmonary fibrosis following chemotherapy are both examples of a complication (adverse extensions of a disease or outcome from treatment). It is normal to expect incisional pain following surgery. As Parkinson disease progresses, the inability to walk independently is expected. This is a normal progression for people diagnosed with Parkinson's. Loss of short-term memory in a patient diagnosed with Alzheimer disease is an expected finding.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Slow, direct speech is a useful communication technique when dealing with clients who are hard of hearing. It is not necessary to avoid complex ideas or always utilize short, simple vocabulary, since hearing deficits are not synonymous with cognitive deficits. Speaking too loudly is counterproductive.
