Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Creative arts offer great value to individuals with dementia; the arts offer opportunities for indi-viduals to express themselves and their vision of the world. Language skills are not required for individuals with dementia to participate in some of the arts. Individuals with dementia can bene-fit from creative activities. Not all individuals with dementia are agitated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Conditions that most predispose an individual to spiritual distress include those that are life threatening, such as a terminal illness, loss of interpersonal support, and those that affect the abil-ity to participate in spiritual rituals. Metastatic cancer is a life-threatening illness, and moving to another state and the loss of a husband result in the loss of interpersonal support. Spiritual dis-tress is not directly associated with a specific age; that is, it is not true that the older a person is, the more spiritual distress she feels. Chronic conditions are usually not associated with spiritual distress unless they affect the ability to participate in spiritual rituals, which is not indicated in this scenario.
