Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Hallucinations in older patients are usually the result of physical dis-orders, dementias, or sensory function loss.
B Incorrect. A delusion is a belief that is maintained even though facts can prove it is incorrect. A hallucination or illusion is the sensory perception of a stimulus that does not exist in the external world.
C Correct. The nurse assesses an older adult exhibiting psychotic behavior by searching for a reason from a wide variety of potential causes for the behavior; for example, neuroleptic medications can cause extrapyramidal side effects re-sulting in movement disorders that are similar to psychotic behavior.
D Incorrect. The treatments for hallucinatory states vary according to the cause.

Answer to Question 2

B
Plain yogurt has 452 mg of calcium per 8 ounces. Okra has 30 mg of calcium per serving. Turnip greens have 14 mg of calcium per serving. Whole wheat bread has 26 mg of calcium per serving.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
