Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
It is essential that educational programs prepare students for competent care of older adults in a variety of health care settings, including acute, long-term, home, and community-based care. Nurses in all settings need to increase awareness of the roles and responsibilities of nursing practice across the continuum and work collaboratively to improve care outcomes, particularly during times of transition. The remaining options do not have the same impact on nursing leadership as does the correct option.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Relocation to a long-term care facility is identified as one of the most stressful interventions, and one that many older people fear. Research suggests that individuals are better able to meet the challenges of relocation if they have a sense of control over the circumstances. To avoid some of the effects of relocation stress syndrome, the individual must have some control over the environment, preparation regarding the new situation, and maintenance of familiar situations to the greatest degree possible as suggested by the correct option. The remaining options, while appropriate, should be the result of the individual's input and preference.
