Answer to Question 1

C
Families should be made aware that the patient will have difficulty concentrating and following or carrying on in-depth or lengthy conversations. The other symptoms are usually seen at later stages of the disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
Fear of weight gain is a subjective symptom, because it is voiced by the patient. The distracters are objective signs.
