Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Instrumental activities of daily living or IADLs (such as the ability to write a check, shop, prepare meals, or make phone calls) and activities of daily living or ADLs (such as bathing, dressing, and toileting) are essential to independent living.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients with dementia need a routine. Continuing to reorient a patient with dementia is nonproductive and not advised. Patients with dementia need limited choices. Social interaction based on the patient's abilities is to be promoted.
