Answer to Question 1

C
Because of alterations in perceptions or ability to interpret the environment accurately, an older adult may lose her familiarity with things such as mirrors and not recognize the reflection as herself. This is not an example of memory loss (responses A and B) or an alteration in problem solving (response D).

Answer to Question 2

A
The MDS is part of the comprehensive assessment and has accompanying resident assessment protocols that provide the nurse with guidelines for care planning. Response B is incorrect. The MDS and resident assessment protocols provide guidelines designed to individualize the patient's plan of care. Responses C and D are incorrect. The MDS is not based on medical diagnoses or standardized care plans.
