Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Dementia has an insidious onset, symptoms of long duration, and mood and behaviors fluctuations. The client conceals his or her disabilities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Persons who exhibit ego preoccupation resign themselves to the aging process, become inactive, feel they have no future, and wait to die. Reminiscence is a therapeutic process of consciously seeking and sharing memories of past significant experiences and events. Ego transcendence is a positive approach to finding meaning in life as aging persons talk about past experiences. Failure to thrive occurs in elderly persons as a result of acute or chronic illness, systemic disease, or psychological stress.
