Answer to Question 1

B
Sundown syndrome may be associated with having fewer orienting environmental stimuli, such as planned activities, meals, and contact with others. Frequent interactions with staff members will increase stimuli and provide opportunities for reorientation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Predisposing factors include biological, psychological, and sociocultural components. Predisposing factors are those that place a person at risk for development of a stress-related disorder.
