Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D, E
Cognitive patterns, communication and hearing patterns, mood and behavior patterns, and psychosocial well-being are all categories within Minimum Data Set 3, and family support is not.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Nurses should be aware of problems with assistive devices and follow up these problems with the appropriate therapists. It would be inappropriate to confine the client to bed or to independently replace her walker with a wheelchair. Providing a chair for rest breaks does not address the central problem that she may be using the wrong device.
