Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Persons with dementia can develop delirium as a response to an acute condition but be undiagnosed because changes are not understood or identified. Both dementia and delirium cause cognitive impairment, but there are significant differences in the two disorders. Dementia causes a progressive, irreversible decline in cognition. Dementia occurs in approximately 5 of the elderly population.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rubin's insufflation test determines tubal patency. Carbon dioxide escapes into the abdominal cavity through the patent left Fallopian tube.
