Answer to Question 1

C
A copy of a life story could be shared with children, grandchildren, friends, family members, and staff members so that they could get to know the patient better. Responses A, B, and D are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
An iatrogenic disorder occurs as a result of a treatment by a physician, nurse, or other member of the interdisciplinary team or from incorrect or nonexistent treatment. The sedative made the patient groggy, resulting in a fall and broken hip. Although URI can be iatrogenic, resulting from catheter use, it may also have other causes. CVA and community-acquired pneumonia are incorrect responses.
