Answer to Question 1

B
Illusions are misconceptions of real events (response A). Paranoia is a way of thinking that interprets others as being intentionally harmful (response C). Somatization is extreme preoccupation with physical problems (response D).

Answer to Question 2

C
The gerontological nurse must constantly question and evaluate nursing care. Does the nursing care build on the older person's strengths, or does it foster dependency? Responses A, B, and D address parts of the nurse's responsibilities but do not consider the individuality of the older person. These statements do not consider the input or desires of the older person.
