Explanation:

For the first question, the resident shows confusion about time (wanting breakfast at bedtime) and place (thinking living - room is bathroom), which are signs of disorientation. Dementia is a more long - term and progressive cognitive decline, delirium has more acute and fluctuating mental status changes, and pseudo - dementia is often related to psychological factors.
For the second question, Mrs. Chan has fluctuating mental states like drowsiness, sudden outbursts, and then falling asleep, which are characteristic of delirium. Hallucination is seeing or hearing things that are not there, euphoria is a state of extreme happiness, and sundowning is more related to increased confusion in the late afternoon or evening.

Answer:

Question 1: D. Disorientation
Question 2: A. Delirium
