Explanation:

1. Vascular dementia is often caused by reduced blood - flow to the brain, and stroke can lead to such vascular problems. Inadequate nutrition, depression, and anxiety are not direct causes of vascular dementia.
2. Older adults with dementia usually exhibit behaviors to communicate an unmet need, such as hunger, thirst, or discomfort. They are not showing their true colors, trying to be ignored, or asking for medication in most cases when exhibiting general behaviors.
3. Holding their hands is a direct and effective way to convey love and intimacy. Ignoring them, talking to them in a rushed manner, or limiting distractions are not appropriate ways to convey love and intimacy.

1. C. Stroke
2. B. Communicating an unmet need
