Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Feedback:
The nurse should keep abreast of current assistive technology to enable older adults to care for themselves; to function within the community; and to allow them the opportunity to remain in the workforce as long as possible, despite having a disability. If the technology exists and the nurse is aware of it, it is not likely that the nurse can become an entrepreneur in marketing these devices.
