Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse must add the vital signs and information about the older adult's health care beliefs to the OASIS. The nurse does not need to add information about the older adult's activity level. The nurse does not need to add information about the older adult's functional status. The nurse does not need to add demographic information about the older adult to the documentation tool.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Social interaction is associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer's dis-ease. Keeping the curtains open can make the resident's room more pleasant but is likely to be counterproductive in lowering the risk because brightening the room can entice the resident to stay in the room and decrease social interaction.
B Incorrect. This is unlikely to decrease the risk for Alzheimer's disease because stringing beads is a passive, sedentary activity; and, physical activity is asso-ciated with a lower risk for Alzheimer's disease.
C Incorrect. Watching movies is a sedentary but not a mentally stimulating activity for an adult with a normal intelligence.
D Correct. Engaging in physical activity and social interaction are associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer's disease.
