Answer to Question 1

C
Right-side hemiparesis involves a left-side brain injury. The left side of the brain controls speak-ing and language. By giving the patient a dry erase board, he or she can communicate easier in-itially after the stroke. People who have this type of hemiparesis experience difficulty talking.
With only one side affected; the nurse should be able to transfer the patient alone. Pa-tients with left-side hemiparesis have with short term memory, often repetition must be incorpo-rated into patient care. The raising of all four side rails up would be considered a restraint.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback

B Incorrect. Culture is not as relevant to this theory as the value of youth.
C Incorrect. Ethnicity is not as relevant to this theory as the value of youth.
D Correct. Social exchange theory ignores the effect that opportunity can have on aging because, according to this theory, the mother should be living with one of the children. They had the opportunities that she never had.
