Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Boredom, loneliness, and depression may affect an older person's perception and report of pain. One myth held by many to be true is that older clients have a decreased sensitivity to pain and therefore a heightened pain tolerance. Numerous older adult clients residing in long-term care facilities have significant pain that negatively affects their quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Snoring that is followed by silence and then a snort may be a sign of obstructive apnea. Snoring is not considered a sleeping disorder and is often more disturbing to the sleep partner.
