Therapeutic drawing - many children and adolescents love to
draw and paint and will spontaneously express themselves in
artwork. Their drawings capture the thoughts, feelings, and
tensions they may not be able to express verbally, are unaware
of, or are denying. For some, however, this modality may be too
threatening or not engaging. Children and adolescents can be
encouraged to draw themes, such as people, families, or
themselves or more ----------themes, such as feelings. To use
this modality, the pmh-aprn needs to be familiar with the
drawing capabilities expected of children at particular
developmental levels, and additional training is recommended. -

The actual cause of dementia of the alzheimer's type (dat)
remains unknown, but several factors are believed to play a role.
Dat has been correlated with the loss of specific group of nerve
cells and the disruption of communication between nerve cells
from a---------- and s---------- deficits. Researchers are
working to identify a slow-acting, virus-like causative agent. This
work has been prompted by the findings of just such an agent in
creutzfeldt---------- disease.
To date, advanced age, family history of the illness, ---------
syndrome, and a history of ---------- are risk factors for dat
(apa, 2000; white & cummings, 1997). There are linkages between
genetic markers and dat on a number of chromosomes, namely
chromosomes (numbers)--------,---------,-------- and one or
both alleles coding for the e4 variant of apolipoprotein on
chromosome 19 (called apo e4). People with dat have four times

Validation therapy
Naomi ------ (2002), a social worker, developed validation
therapy between 1963 and 1980 for older people with cognitive
impairments. Initially, this therapy did not include those with
dementia. Applying validation therapy in dementia care occurred
in the early 1980s. Validation therapy is based on the idea that
once the person has experienced severe short-term memory
loss and can no longer employ intellectual thinking or make
sense of the present, he or she is likely to go -------------. This
may be in order to resolve -------- conflicts, relive past
experiences or to retreat from the present over which they have
little control. Some people will go in and out of the present.
Some family members and caregivers express concern that
validation involves ----------- to the person with dementia
about reality. However a more accurate description is that it
avoids --------their reality. For instance, i - --ANSWERS----feil
