Answer to Question 1

B
Often older adults minimize things that they cannot remember rather than acknowledge that the memories do not exist. Short-term memory loss often can go undetected for a long time because of the minimizing skills that older adults develop. This is not an example of long-term memory loss (response A), altered perception (response C), or altered problem solving (response D).

Answer to Question 2

A
Home health services include skilled nursing, physical therapy, and home health assistants. Mr. Blazer and his sister could be taught Mr. Blazer's care and evaluate if he could stay home after his sister left. Mr. Blazer could go to a skilled nursing facility (response B) and receive nursing care and physical therapy. His sister is staying with him to help him at home, however. The senior center (response C) and hospice care (response D) are inappropriate referrals.
