Answer to Question 1

A
The sundown syndrome is the name given to behavior that occurs late in the afternoon or early evening when a patient with dementia becomes more confused. It is sometimes called sundowning. Moonlighting refers to working a second job. Differentiating refers to making distinctions between or among things. Misinterpreting refers to incorrectly perceiving the environment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with anorexia nervosa often use strategies to hide food, spill food, or discard it to avoid eating. The nurse can best handle these behaviors with nonjudgmental confrontation and adherence to established limits. Only the correct answer is a nonjudgmental response. The other options are judgmental or punitive.
