Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Use of door locks that require a key may be necessary if the patient wanders. Keep the environment free of hazards such as sharp objects, and minimize distractions. If the patient is not safe to be left alone, 24-hour supervision may be necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
To prevent or alleviate overload, the nurse reduces sensory stimuli, dimming unnecessary lights and turning down the sound on alarms if possible. Nursing care is planned so that the patient is not constantly disturbed. Visitation by family provides reality orientation and a soothing, recognizable presence for some patients experiencing overload.
