Answer to Question 1

B
Ageism is negative stereotyping and devaluation of people based on their age. Older adults might be as guilty of using ageism as younger individuals. The other options are not substantiated by the information given in the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

C, E
A hyperactive patient experiencing a manic episode is often too overactive to sit and eat, so the nurse must provide food that can be eaten out of hand while the patient walks around. A sandwich and cookies provide protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber.
