Answer to Question 1

C
In agitation, it is best to keep the person talking to you. Remain calm, step back a few feet to give space, maintain eye contact, and try to match the patient's breathing pattern. These are techniques that are beneficial. Responses A, B, and D are the opposite of appropriate technique.

Answer to Question 2

B
Noncompliance with medication or hoarding may be part of a suicide plan. This topic should be gently explored with the older adult. Failure to thrive occurs when an older adult no longer makes an attempt to keep up with life. Although Mr. Jordan may have dementia (response C), the first concern would be to evaluate him for suicidal thoughts. Response D is incorrect.
