Answer to Question 1

B
Environmental cues can be helpful to patients with cognitive impairment, such as signs with names or graphic images, orientation boards, and color-coding locations. These elements are usually present on dementia units and geropsychiatric units. Community meetings and psychoeducational groups may be helpful but may also overstimulate patients with dementia. Door locks help the staff rather than patients.

Answer to Question 2

B
Gastrointestinal (GI) and other peripheral side effects of ChE inhibitor drugs are attributable to inhibition of BChE. The other options are not viable explanations.
