Answer to Question 1

A
Patients in geropsychiatric units have an especially high risk for falls. Safety is the nurse's priority concern.

Answer to Question 2

Research findings about the effectiveness of vitamins B and E for the prevention of AD are inconclusive. The adult in this scenario may benefit more from using health care dollars on proven causes. The distracters are incorrect statements.
