C
Reminiscence and life review are effective techniques to help older adults deal with changing life circumstances.

Answer to Question 2

D
At 4 months the infant is able to hold the head up steadily to a 90-degree angle while in the prone position. Infants may crawl at 7 months and creep at about 9 months. Standing with support and walking occur at about 8 months to 15 months.
