Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Charlie is probably going home to the best family support. Albert's family may smother him with helpfulness, interfering with his own need to be active and independent. Bob's family members cannot be relied on to help him when he may need them, despite their good intentions. David's family may be of no help at all. Although Charlie may have some difficulty in getting help at all times, he knows that his family can be relied on and that some planning and scheduling will take care of most problems.

Answer to Question 2

D
Lie immobile and hold the head in one position until the vertigo lessens.
