Answer to Question 1

A
The MDS is part of the assessment step in the nursing process. Responses B, C, and D are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

D
Short-term memory loss would encompass looking for glasses that were just placed in the drawer or on the nightstand.

Counting backward from 100 by sevens is a measurement of calculation ability.
