Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The FANCAPES assessment tool focuses on physical functioning and evaluates the individual's ability to meet his/her needs and how much assistance is needed to meet the needs. FANCAPES evaluates physical functioning. IADLs involve more than just physical functioning. FANCAPES does not assess cognitive function, nor does it assess dementia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A memory is an incredible gift given to the nurse, a sharing of a part of oneself when one may have little else to give, and it provides insight into who the person really is telling the story.
