Answer to Question 1

C
Multiple factors influence how one ages mentally. Culture, education, general health, genetics, and living conditions all have an influence on one's cognitive (intellectual) abilities. We all age individually, but one thing is certain: confusion is not normal. Although it most often occurs in older adults, individuals of any age can become confused. No matter what the age, confusion demands investigation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Patients' rights should be discussed shortly after admission. Patients have rights related to receiving/refusing visitors, privacy, filing complaints about inadequate care, and accepting/refusing treatments (including medications). Patients do not have a right to a private room or selecting which nurse will provide care.
