Answer to Question 1

B
Removing the patient from a crowded dining room will reduce overwhelming environmental stimuli affecting an extremely distractible individual.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Caregivers are constantly serving as client advocates, but they must be careful to avoid expending their energies without renewing energy. A caregiver cannot provide quality health care unless he first takes care of himself. One does not have to take on all challenges presented to him because this can be exhausting to an individual.
