Answer to Question 1

B
Older adults lose their ability to hear higher-frequency sound. Speaking in a lower tone enhances communication. Speaking overly loud and as if to a child may be irritating and demeaning. Rapid speech may be difficult for older adults to understand.

Answer to Question 2

B
Any threat of suicide must be taken very seriously and reported to a mental health professional.
