Answer to Question 1

D
Before using restraints, other methods must be tried. Having a family member stay with the client will provide a sense of familiarity to the client and provide additional observation to prevent injury.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Middle adulthood usually refers to those years between 40 and 65 . Expected physical changes include a slow, progressive decrease in skin turgor, decreased abdominal strength, decreased visual acuity, and loss of accommodation of lens to focus light on near objects. The ability to solve practical problems based on experience peaks at midlife because of the ability for integra-tive thinking.
