Answer to Question 1

D
Relocation is a common cause of disorientation for hospitalized older patients. Responses A, B, and C could increase an older individual's confusion. The noise of television can be a distressing negative sensory stimulus, especially when it is on all the time. Having multiple caregivers is more confusing, and waking older individuals at frequent intervals can interrupt sleep patterns and negatively affect rest and sleep patterns.

Answer to Question 2

C
I feel messages are not aggressive (response B) or passive (response D), but rather an assertive response to an aggressive communication. Active listening (response A) is a communication skill that complements assertive behavior.
