Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
It is a professional obligation to report suspected impaired practice. The remaining options do not have prior in this situation since the concern is patient safety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome includes a severe form of amnesia and an inability to learn new skills which reflects a cognitive impairment. The other options are not associated with the syndrome.
