Explanation:

• Question 4: Dementia is a well - known main risk factor for wandering and elopement as it affects cognitive functions, leading to disorientation. Age over 65 is a general risk factor for some health issues but not the main one for wandering in the context of dementia - related wandering. Gender (male or female) is not the main risk factor compared to dementia.
• Question 5: Hiding the resident's shoes is an unethical and non - therapeutic approach. Assessing the causes of wandering helps in addressing the root problem. Involving residents in purposeful activities can reduce restlessness. Identifying unmet needs (such as thirst, hunger, or social interaction) can also prevent wandering.

Answer:

1. Dementia
2. Hide the resident’s shoes.
