Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
These symptoms can be confused with other conditions, such as electrolyte imbalance, drug reactions, and dementia. Observation and documentation by the practical nurse can assist the physician in ruling out a medical diagnosis. The elderly are more likely to have physical symptoms with depression.

Answer to Question 2

Safety, quality of life, support system, access to medical care, financial support, emotional support
The elderly remaining in the home have a greater chance of remaining healthier longer.
