Answer to Question 1

A
The activity preferences of each resident should be assessed on admission in order to identify activities that the patient is likely to participate in. Keeping the patient busy and active will pro-mote sleep. The other options are also appropriate, but assessing the patient's preferences for leisure activity is the first step.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Medicare guidelines provide reimbursement for pneumococcal vaccination once and every 5 years as recommended, an annual flu vaccination, pap smears and pelvic exams every 3 years, an annual fecal occult blood test for those who are from 50 to 85 years of age, and a bone density scan every 2 years (however, a co-payment is required)
