Explanation:

1. When a resident is confused, staying calm and providing a quiet environment helps reduce stress and anxiety, which is the appropriate nursing - care approach. Explaining care is important in most cases, and not mentioning date or location is incorrect as orientation helps. Leaving a confused resident alone is unsafe.
2. A urinary tract infection can cause confusion, especially in the elderly. Too much television viewing, an unpleasant roommate, or exercise usually do not directly cause confusion.
3. Cognition refers to the ability to think logically and clearly. Dementia is a disorder, awareness is a state of being conscious, and dysphagia is difficulty swallowing.
