Answer to Question 1

C
Habeas corpus is a right protected by the U.S. Constitution that permits a speedy legal hearing and evaluation for any individual who claims he is being detained illegally. In such a hearing, a judge (and at times a jury as well) hears evidence and makes a determination of whether or not the individual may be released or detained for psychiatric treatment.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Depression and memory loss are not normal events of aging. Slowed response time, altered gait, and interrupted sleep patterns are a few of the normal changes of aging that elders or their families may interpret as pathological.
