Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Individuals diagnosed as having moderate mental retardation acquire some communication skills, but rarely advance academically beyond the second grade. With supervision they can provide for their own personal care. 1. This person would be considered profoundly retarded. 2. This person would be considered mildly retarded. 4. This person would be considered mildly retarded.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2, 3
1. Haldol is not a current drug of choice. 4. NSAIDs may reduce the risk for developing AD. 5. Small (not large) doses of benzodiazepines may be helpful, but they increase the risks for falls.
