Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. There must be a clear plan for recognition of absent members; an ab-sence does not by itself mean that a member has died.
B Incorrect. Mixing very different levels of ability can lead to anxiety in both the more impaired and the less impaired members, for different reasons.
C Incorrect. The leader should be able to discuss the losses and sadnesses of the other group members without falling into depression.
D Incorrect. Some older people may be tired by the evening, and people living outside the facility may have transportation difficulties at that time of day.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. It is essential that the nurse believe that the patient is trying to com-municate something that is important enough to make the effort to understand it.
B Incorrect. The patient is speaking as clearly as he or she can.
C Incorrect. An open-ended reply is likely to frustrate the patient, who is likely to answer by simply repeating the original utterance, no more comprehensibly.
D Correct. The patient is most likely saying Please bring me a something. This response focuses on the one part of the sentence that you did not understand.
