Answer to Question 1

A
Alzheimer's disease affects cognitive ability, so it is best to use words and phrases that do not require a great deal of thought to be understood. Having the client sit when she likes to pace may increase her anxiety and block communication. Repeat key words to assist in understanding; changing the key words may further confuse the client. Hand gestures may further confuse the troubled thought processes.

Answer to Question 2

B
The focused communications and concerned actions of caregivers help suicidal individuals to feel self-worth, which directly affects the treatment goals of the individual.
