Answer to Question 1

D
Alternate patterns of relationships include multi-adult households, skip-generation families (grandparents caring for grandchildren), communal groups with children, nonfamilies (adults living alone), and cohabitating partners.

Answer to Question 2

C
The risk for aspiration is greater in the supine position; thus avoid this position when the patient is confused, agitated, experiencing a decreased level of consciousness, or is at risk for aspiration.
