Answer to Question 1

4
Clients' families have a significant impact on the outcome of their illnesses.

Answer to Question 2

B
In stage 2, deterioration is evident. Memory loss may include the inability to remember addresses or the date. Mood is labile. Activities such as driving may become hazardous, as seen here, and increasing difficulty in performing ordinary tasks leads to frustration. Hygiene may begin to deteriorate. Stage 1 is the mildest stage; amnestic changes are evident but functioning is generally intact. Stage 3 finds the individual unable to identify familiar objects or people, and needing direction for the simplest of tasks. In stage 4, the ability to talk and walk are eventually lost and stupor evolves.
