Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should assess for the presence of cardiovascular disease or hypertension, because MID usually coexists with these conditions. A history of crack cocaine abuse is seen in clients with crack-related dementia, not MID. The nurse should confirm for disease progression in a stepwise fashion. Alcohol-related dementia is seen in clients with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, not MID.

Answer to Question 2

A
