Explanation:

Question 1

Confidentiality relates to respecting a person's right to privacy and self - determination (autonomy). Breaking confidentiality violates a person's control over their information, so autonomy is the broken principle.

A dementia diagnosis doesn't mean a person can never make decisions. Decision - making ability varies by individual and situation, so the statement is false.

The stage of Alzheimer's (e.g., early, mid, late) affects a person's understanding and ability to process the diagnosis. Age, sex, and spouse's history are less relevant to the decision of disclosing the diagnosis compared to disease stage.

Answer:

A. Autonomy
