Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Delirium is an acute sudden-onset disorder that includes symptoms of perceptual disturbances like illusions and hallucinations. Dehydration is a cause and not a symptom of delirium. Slurred speech is a common symptom of cerebrovascular accident. An unsteady gait is a symptom of many neuromuscular diseases and is seen in later stages of dementia.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The most commonly experienced emotions of a nurse working with a victim of abuse include intense protective feelings and sympathy for the victim, and anger toward the abuser.
