Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Older adults may not necessarily be employed and probably won't be deciding about children.
2. These adults are learning to live together and have children.
3. A couple is two people living together with or without being married, who are in a period of establishing themselves as a couple. Their tasks are to adjust to living together as a couple, establish a mutually satisfying relationship, relate to kin, and decide whether or not to have children.
4. This couple is learning to live together and have children.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. This pressure is on the high side, and needs to be checked more frequently than every 5-10 years.
2. This is not a dangerously high blood pressure, and it would be inappropriate to advise the client to go to the hospital.
3. The blood pressure is a little high, and the client should see a physician.
4. The client with this blood pressure is advised to have the pressure checked at least every 2 years, if not more frequently.
