Answer to Question 1

C
Informed consent implies that the resident has all of the information necessary to make informed decisions regarding his or her care. Response A, the resident's right to refuse treatment, is part of the Patient's Bill of Rights. Response B is a requirement of individual facilities. Response D is not a part of the rationale for informed consent.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response C is the correct answer because it recognizes that older adults are at risk for suicide. Responses A, B, and D ignore the potential risk for suicide and the feelings that the older person expressed.
