Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
There are several risk factors for developing delirium, including advanced age, polypharmacy, pain, surgery, and hospitalization. Being blind is not a risk factor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Formal education, occupational training, and overall life experiences contribute to refining cognitive skills such as rational thinking and problem solving. Physical growth of the brain and specific profession chosen are not as directly related.
