In the supermarket checkout, a young woman complained to her friend, Old people think we taxpayers should pay for them to be in a nursing home. Seems like a waste of money. Which of the following would be the most appropriate response by the nurse?
 
  a. Did you know more than 90 of all the elderly live in their own homes while fewer than 5 live in care facilities?
  b. Those old people built our society; we owe it to them to support them now.
  c. Would it be better to put each person to sleep when they reach a certain age such as 80 years?
  d. You know, you'll get old someday too. Won't you want someone to take care of you when you can't anymore?

Question 2

Which of the following best explains why cancer rates increase as people get older?
 
  a. Better prevention programs are available for cardiac disease, so cardiac disease rates are decreasing, making cancer rates increase.
  b. It is harder to screen for cancer than for other fatal diseases, so the rates are increasing because of the inability to detect the cancer at an early stage.
  c. Poor lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and increased life expectancy have all caused cancer rates to increase.
  d. Other causes of death are decreasing, so it appears that cancer rates are increasing.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In 2009, 93 of Medicare enrollees aged 65 years and over resided in traditional community settings. Three percent resided in community housing with at least one service available, and approximately 4 resided in long-term-care facilities. The other responses do not support a therapeutic response by the nurse in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cancer rates appear to be increasing for a number of reasons, including lifestyle choices (smoking, diet, sun exposure); increasing exposure to environmental carcinogens; and age. There has not been a significant decrease of cardiac disease or other causes of death. Screening programs exist to detect cancers early and more cancers are detected at earlier stages.
