Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A Rationale: Sedatives may not be the first choice for managing behavioral issues in clients with Alzheimer's disease, as they can increase confusion and fall risk.

Choice B Rationale: Antipsychotics may be considered in cases where behavioral issues pose a safety concern. They can help manage agitation, aggression, and other challenging behaviors.

Choice C Rationale: Cholinesterase inhibitors are used to treat cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease but may not directly address behavioral issues.

Choice D Rationale: Serotonin reuptake inhibitors are typically used to manage mood disorders and may not be the first-line choice for behavioral issues in Alzheimer's disease.

A. Quadriplegia B. Incomplete loss of function C. CA injury D. Hyperextension

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A Rationale: Quadriplegia is a type of paralysis that affects all four limbs and the trunk, usually caused by an injury to the cervical spine (C1-C8).

Choice B Rationale: Incomplete loss of function refers to the extent of injury and whether some neurological function remains, not the level of injury.

Choice C Rationale: CA injury refers to cervical spine injury, which is the most common level of spinal cord injury.

Choice D Rationale: Hyperextension, like other mechanisms of injury (such as compression, flexion, or flexion-rotation), can contribute to spinal cord injury but does not define the level of injury.
