Answer to Question 1

D
Orthostatic hypotension is a serious side effect of psychotropic medications and increases an older adult's fall risk. Responses A and C could potentially increase an older adult's fall risk, but when the medication has just been started, it is most likely that the fall is related to orthostatic hypotension. Response B, relaxation of paranoid tendencies, would not cause falls or increase fall risk.

Answer to Question 2

A
The four components of TQM are customer/client focus, total organizational involvement from the maintenance personnel to the president, quality measurements, and quality assessments to determine needs.
