Answer to Question 1

Demented persons need a simple explanation of all procedures involved in their care. All other options are helpful in maintaining orientation for a demented patient.

Because of the higher register of the female voice and that of children, the person with a hearing impairment does not understand them well. All other options are valid indicators of hearing loss.
