Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
There are five basic purposes for written patient records: (1) written communication, (2) permanent record for accountability, (3) legal record of care, (4) teaching, and (5) research and data collection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Older adults lose their ability to hear higher frequency sound. Speaking in a lower tone enhances communication. Speaking overly loud and as if to a child may be irritating and demeaning. Rapid speech may be difficult for older adults to understand.
