Answer to Question 1

B
Confabulation is the process of making up a response to a question when one cannot remember the answer. It is a face-saving strategy that helps the individual deny memory loss.

Answer to Question 2

B
Responses to stress, whether actual or potential, are the subject of nursing diagnoses. Nursing diagnoses complement rather than replace medical diagnoses.
