Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse should teach the patient to consciously assume correct posture. Sleeping in the prone position without a pillow will help to improve erect posture. Imagining stepping over something helps prevent freezing when walking. Walking may also improve by having the patient think about imaginary lines across the pathway on which to walk. The patient should be encouraged to exercise; the physical therapist will institute an exercise program to help the patient maintain muscle function and promote joint mobility.

Answer to Question 2

C
Age-related changes that interfere with respiration in the older adult are weakened respiratory muscles and calcified costal cartilages.
