Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Crystallized intelligence refers to vocabulary skills, information, and verbal comprehension. Fluid intelligence involves a person's inherent abilities, such as memory and recognition, and involves adaptive thinking. Memory involves retrieval and storage of information.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Victims of self-neglect are likely to have the following characteristics: older age; chronic illness; functional limitations; solo living arrangements; social isolation; inadequate economic resources; and dementia, mental illness, substance abuse, or hoarding behaviors. If the elder is incapable of deciding whether to accept or reject emergency services, then these services should be provided.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
