Answer to Question 1

B
Maintaining communication and expressing concern suggest that the support is sometimes
demonstrated. Other needs such as providing physical care and bearing painful feelings are not met;
thus options C and D are not appropriate choices.

Answer to Question 2

A
Although each area should be assessed initially and systematically thereafter, the biophysical
parameters, including vital signs and physical safety needs, are of critical importance to maintenance
of biophysical integrity. Delirium is, after all, a physiological disturbance.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
