Answer to Question 1

D
High noise levels can lead to distorted perceptions, altered thinking, and sensory overload. Calm music, the sound of ocean waves, or a light rain can produce relaxation. When noise levels become too intense, clients tend to become distracted and agitated. Turning up the volume on the television, bringing him to a crowded nurses station, and keeping him in the lounge do not decrease noise levels and may increase his agitation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Word salad is verbal communication in which a series of unrelated words with no connection is used. Neologism is words or expressions invented by the individual. Flight of ideas refers to rapid flow of speech along with a rapid change of topics; and verbigeration is purposeless repeating of phrases.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
