Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
While depression and dementia may both result in behavioral and cognitive changes, the resident's behavior is best characterized as paranoia. These accusations are less likely to result directly from anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Erikson's theory of human development identifies the primary conflict of older adults as integrity versus despair.
