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.
